    Study Notes

    Relations and Functions in First-Order Logic

    • Unary relations can include attributes like color or shape, e.g., "red," "round."
    • N-ary relations describe relationships between multiple entities, e.g., "the sister of," "has color."
    • Functions specify a unique output dependent on an input, e.g., "Father of," "best friend."

    Basic Elements of First-Order Logic (FOL)

    • Key components of FOL include constants (e.g., 1, 2, John), variables (e.g., x, y, z), predicates (e.g., Brother, Father), functions (e.g., sqrt), logical connectives (e.g., ∧, ∨), equality (==), and quantifiers (e.g., ∀, ∃).

    Syntax of First-Order Logic

    • Atomic sentences form the foundation, created from predicate symbols followed by terms.
    • Complex sentences arise from combining atomic sentences using logical connectives.
    • A statement contains a subject (main part) and a predicate (relation defining the subject).

    Quantifiers in First-Order Logic

    • Quantifiers indicate quantities in logical expressions.
    • Universal Quantifier (∀): Denotes all instances; e.g., "All men drink coffee" translates to ∀x man(x) → drink(x, coffee).
    • Existential Quantifier (∃): Indicates at least one instance; e.g., "Some boys are intelligent" translates to ∃x boys(x) ∧ intelligent(x).

    Properties of Quantifiers

    • Universal Quantifier: Commutative property, ∀x∀y = ∀y∀x.
    • Existential Quantifier: Also commutative, ∃x∃y = ∃y∃x.
    • Combining quantifiers differently affects their meaning; ∃x∀y is not equivalent to ∀y∃x.

    Inference in First-Order Logic

    • Modus Ponens: If P implies Q and P is true, then Q is also true.
    • Example: If "Kings are evil," to find specific instances, substitution helps derive that a specific king, if greedy, is evil.

    Knowledge Representation

    • Knowledge representation and reasoning (KR, KRR) enables machines to interpret and use knowledge to solve real-world problems.
    • Includes object information, events, performance, meta-knowledge, and facts.
    • Procedural Knowledge: Utilizes small programs for specific tasks and applies rules (e.g., If-Then).

    Requirements for a Good Knowledge Representation System

    • Representational Accuracy: Ability to represent required knowledge.
    • Inferential Adequacy: Ability to create new knowledge from existing representations.
    • Inferential Efficiency: Effectively use knowledge mechanisms for productive inferences.

    Ontological Engineering

    • Events can be problematic in situation calculus, particularly in continuous change or multiple agent scenarios.
    • Categories form the basis of knowledge representation schemes; they must efficiently handle reasoning and defaults.

    Modern Search Technologies

    • Traditional search algorithms often use keyword matching, which is inadequate for e-commerce.
    • AI advancements include "visual search" where users can conduct searches based on images, initiated by tools like Pinterest Lens.
    • Other AI technologies like NLP help understand user behavior and enhance online search capabilities.
