Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

Knowledge Representation (KR) is crucial in AI, allowing for the encoding and manipulation of information. The chapter discusses logic-based representations, focusing on Propositional and First-Order Logic, as well as Ontologies and Semantic Networks. These methods help create intelligent systems capable of reasoning and making informed decisions in complex domains.

    Knowledge Representation And Reasoning

    Knowledge Representation (KR) is essential in AI for encoding and manipulating information to enable reasoning and decision-making.

  • 4.1

    Introduction To Knowledge Representation

    Knowledge Representation (KR) enables machines to represent and manipulate knowledge, forming the basis of reasoning in Artificial Intelligence.

  • 4.2

    Logic-Based Representations

    Logic provides a formal framework for knowledge representation, enabling machines to express, reason, and infer knowledge efficiently.

  • 4.2.1

    Why Use Logic?

    Logic provides a formal foundation for knowledge representation, facilitating precise expression and deduction.

  • 4.2.2

    Types Of Logic In Ai

    This section outlines the various types of logic used in AI for knowledge representation.

  • 4.3

    Propositional And First-Order Logic

    This section explores propositional and first-order logic, key concepts in knowledge representation and reasoning in AI.

  • 4.3.1

    Propositional Logic

    Propositional logic represents statements that can be either true or false, focusing on syntax and semantics of propositions.

  • 4.3.2

    First-Order Logic (Fol)

    First-Order Logic extends propositional logic by incorporating variables, quantifiers, and predicates, allowing for the representation of complex relationships.

  • 4.4

    Ontologies And Semantic Networks

  • 4.4.1

    Ontologies

    An ontology is a formal framework for organizing knowledge, defining concepts, relationships, and constraints within a specific domain.

  • 4.4.2

    Semantic Networks

    Semantic networks are graph-based representations of knowledge that use nodes for concepts and edges for relationships.
