    Study Notes

    Artificial Intelligence

    • AI deals with machines that exhibit intelligent traits. It often intersects with human cognitive attributes and simulation.
    • Two types of thinking exist: System 1 (fast, reflexive) and System 2 (slow, purposeful).
    • System 1 is automatic, subconscious, and intuitive. It's used for simple tasks.
    • System 2 is effortful, conscious, and logical. It performs reasoning.
    • Many popular AI applications are based on System 1 processes, and this is often Machine Learning (using simple tasks and patterns) or Deep Learning.
    • Machine Learning models can be useful, but have limitations and drawbacks, including:
      • Lack of interpretability
      • "Hallucinations" (producing spurious answers)
      • Difficulty updating

    Knowledge Representation (KR)

    • KR is the process of representing information in a way that computers can understand and reason about.

    • KR aims to represent the knowledge that humans already possess to solve problems effectively.

    • Early efforts by Aristotle, using syllogisms, represent early attempts to formalize knowledge.

    • More modern KR methods provide the expressivity needed for more complex applications.

    • Problems with many previous efforts included:

      • limited ability to handle ambiguity
      • limited ability to evolve over time (difficulty adjusting to changes)

    • Formalisms like Propositional Logic provide a method for manipulating logical statements (true or false).

    Knowledge Representation Formalisms

    • Propositional logic: a basic language used for representing knowledge explicitly in a form that can be parsed by an automated reasoning engine
    • Predicate logic: an extension of propositional logic that allows the representation of objects and their properties in a richer way

    Knowledge as Rules

    • Clauses: expressions that are a disjunction (∨) of literals (terms or their negation)
    • Horn Clauses: a simple, widely used form of clause that contains at most 1 positive literal to deduce if a conclusion is true or false.
    • Facts: simple Horn clauses, representing known facts.
    • Rules: composed of facts, which can be used to form complex conclusions.

    Boolean Algebra

    • Boolean Algebra is a formal system for manipulating truth values (true/false or 1/0).
    • It uses logical operators like AND (∧), OR (∨), and NOT (¬).
    • Understanding Boolean Algebra is fundamental to many areas, including computer science and logic. -Operators are defined via truth tables
      • There are also fundamental equivalences (that can be verified through truth tables e.g. De Morgan's Theorem)

    Knowledge Representation and Reasoning

    • Knowledge Base: a collection of statements organized as rules and facts (used to manipulate information into solutions through logical deduction)
    • Unit Resolution: a method for simplifying knowledge or identifying contradictions based on existing facts.
    • Consequence Notation: used to express relationships between facts in a knowledge base.

    Description Logic (DL)

    • DLs are a family of formal knowledge representation languages. They are used in knowledge representation and reasoning.

    • Advantages of using DLs include their expressiveness, formal nature, and capabilities for knowledge representation and reasoning.

    • Syntactical aspects include using clear syntax, enabling formal and unambiguous representation of knowledge.

    • Semantic aspects: the unambiguous meaning expressed through unambiguous semantics, providing a precise interpretation for all the terms, making the knowledge clear and simple

    • Example Use Cases: semantic web, artificial intelligence, information systems

    Extensions to Description Logic (DL)

    • Reasoning within a knowledge base: reasoning requires looking at all possible relations between objects, and the constraints laid out on those relations, within a knowledge base.

    • Knowledge Representation (KR) in the form of properties of objects, and the relations between these objects.

    • More complicated Reasoning: reasoning tasks can't be accomplished without understanding how multiple relations interact.

    Summary of Key Aspects of Reasoning

    • Inconsistency: The presence of inherent contradictions within the knowledge base that may not be possible via the rules and principles underlying such systems.

    • Relationships between Individuals and Property: Reasoning requires an understanding of the properties and relations between individuals, and the limitations these relationships might place on a given system.
