Knowledge Representation in Artificial Intelligence

Knowledge representation (KR) includes various methods to express knowledge in AI systems.
Key forms of KR include Propositional Logic (PL), First Order Logic (FOL), Production Rules (PR), Semantic Networks (SN), and Frames (F).
Additional representations comprise Scripts and Conceptual Dependency (CD).

Logic Fundamentals

Logic is defined as a truth-preserving system of inference, meaning true premises yield true conclusions.
Operates as a structured system, employing mechanistic transformations based solely on syntax.
Inference involves deriving new statements from existing statements.

Propositional Logic (PL)

PL forms the foundational basis for KR in AI and is suitable for specific problems but limited in expressiveness.
Propositional symbols (e.g., P, Q) represent basic statements that can either be true or false.
Logical operations in PL include negation (¬), disjunction (Ú), conjunction (Ù), implication (®), and biconditional (↔).

First Order Logic (FOL)

FOL extends PL by allowing more complex statements and relationships, enhancing expressiveness for AI applications.
A well-formed formula in FOL can be constructed through defined rules:
- A symbol is a sentence.
- If S is a sentence, then negation ¬S is also a sentence.
- Parentheses can be used to form new sentences, denoting structure.
- Combinations of sentences using logical operators result in new sentences.

Conclusion

While PL suffices for simpler AI tasks, FOL is preferred for its ability to represent intricate relationships and concepts in knowledge representation.
