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.
