Study Notes
First Order Logic
- First-order logic is a formal logic that allows reasoning about objects and their relationships.
- It includes objects, relations, and properties.
- Facts have a truth value (true or false).
Objectives
- Students will be able to clearly explain the concept of first-order logic.
- Students will be able to correctly apply inference rules to first-order logic propositions.
- Students will be able to correctly apply unification to first-order logic propositions.
Representation of Language
- Whorf (1956) suggested communities determine language categories.
- Wanner (1975) noted subjects can recall better when presented with the content versus actual words used.
- Mitchell et al. (2008) used fMRI to predict areas of the brain activating with certain words with high accuracy.
Formal/Natural Languages
- Objects include terms like cat, dog, house, etc.
- Relations are like "has color," "bigger than," etc.
- Facts take one value for given input; examples include "has father," "has head," etc.
Ontological and Epistemological Commitments
- Propositional logic deals with facts that are true or false.
- First-order logic deals with facts, objects, and relations, which can be true, false, or unknown.
- Temporal logic includes facts, objects, relations, and time; which can be true, false, or unknown.
- Probability theory deals with facts and their degrees of belief (between 0 and 1).
- Fuzzy logic deals with facts and their degrees of truth (in an interval value).
Relationships
- The models show relationships between entities (e.g., a "brother" relationship).
Syntax
- The symbols include Constants (objects), Predicates (relations), and Functions (functions returning non-truth values).
- Predicates and Functions have arity (number of arguments).
- Terms are statements like (LeftLeg(John)).
- Atomic Sentences describe facts like "Brother(Richard, John)."
- Complex statements use logical connectives.
- Universal quantifiers (∀) and existential quantifiers (∃) are used to specify all or some instances.
Try this
- Provide interpretations for various statements about relationships and properties.
More Facts
- Specific facts about individuals, like familial relationships and geographical locations.
ASK and TELL
- TELL adds facts to the knowledge base.
- ASK queries the knowledge base.
- ASKVARS returns a list of substitutions.
Kinship
- Domain: People.
- Unary predicates: Male, Female.
- Relations: Parent, Sibling, Child, Spouse, Grandparent.
- Functions: Mother, Father.
- Examples of kinship statements like "The son of my father is my brother."
Time
- Time is included in representing percepts and actions.
- Example: at time step 3: Percept(smell,breeze,glitter)
FOL: Wumpus
- Complex rules can be encoded using predicates.
- Examples of expressing relationships between locations.
First-Order Logic (Legos)
- Predicates for defining Lego pieces (e.g., Long, Short).
- Constraints and restrictions between pieces like whether they can connect or overlap.
Creating a Knowledge Base
- Identifying the given task, knowledge, vocabulary.
- Encoding rules, problem description.
- Making queries, debugging results.
Inference in First Order Logic
- Logic can make inferences under given facts.
- Methodologies involve universal and existential instantiation of rules.
- Examples in determining if a person is evil, based on being a king and greedy.
Inference in First Order Logic: Modus Ponens
- A generalized method for inferences with atomic sentences, allowing substitutions of components in the sentence.
Inference in First Order Logic: Unification
- Algorithm used to find substitutions that make sentences equal to each other.
- Example of unifying known statements.
Putting it together
- Example involving proving a person is criminal in a scenario where weapons and hostility are mentioned.
Inference Graph
- Example graph showing relations between statements for inference in a scenario.
Forward Chaining ASK
- Forward chaining approach for inference by examining facts.
- Iterative process adding derived facts to the knowledge base until final facts are satisfied.
Discussion
- Inference in first-order logic is analogous to propositional logic.
- Important concepts such as unification, forward and backward chaining.
References
- Specific references to a text book.
