Study Notes

Semantic Networks

  • Nodes in a semantic network represent concepts or objects.
  • Arcs in a semantic network represent relationships between concepts or objects.

Classes in Semantic Networks

  • Super classes are general categories that sub classes inherit from.
  • Sub classes are specific categories that inherit properties from super classes.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Semantic Networks

  • One disadvantage of semantic networks is NOT their ability to represent complex relationships.
  • Semantic networks are a type of graph data structure.
  • A major disadvantage of conventional semantic networks is their inability to represent uncertain or fuzzy information.

Frames in Knowledge Representation

  • Frames involve stereotyped information on objects and their attributes.
  • A key advantage of frames is their ability to represent complex, structured knowledge.
  • The implementation of frames is challenging, especially concerning inheritance, due to the complexity of attribute relationships.
  • Frames can present close matches despite missing values through default values.

Classification Techniques

  • The two broad classes of classification techniques mentioned in the text are symbolic and connectionist.
  • The distance measure NOT mentioned in the text for k-nearest neighbor classification is Jaccard similarity.

Common Disadvantages of Semantic Networks

  • A common disadvantage of semantic networks according to the text is their inability to represent uncertain or fuzzy information.

Fuzzy Sets and Classification

  • Fuzzy sets are used in classification techniques that rely on symbolic processing.

Blind Search in Knowledge-Based Systems

  • Blind search involves searching through all possible solutions without using any heuristic knowledge.

Logical Features in Semantic Networks

  • Semantic networks cannot express negation as per the text.
