Modus Ponens

A fundamental inference rule that allows us to deduce a conclusion (β) if we know a premise (α) and the conditional statement (α  β) is true. It essentially says that if we know 'if α, then β' is true, and we also know α is true, then we can conclude β is true.

Signup and view all the flashcards

And-Elimination

This rule allows us to deduce one of the conjuncts (α or β) from a conjunction (α ∧ β) in a knowledge base. In other words, if we know that both α and β are true, we can infer that either α or β is true.

Signup and view all the flashcards

And-Introduction

Allows us to combine two separate facts (α and β) into a single conjunctive statement (α ∧ β) in the knowledge base. If we know α is true and β is true, we can infer that α and β are both true.

Or-Introduction

This rule infers a disjunction (α ∨ β) from a single fact (α) in the knowledge base. If we know α is true, then we can deduce that α or β is true.

Double Negative Elimination

This rule allows us to remove two consecutive negations (¬¬α) from a statement to get the original statement (α). If we know that something is not not true, we can conclude that it is true.

Unit Resolution

This rule allows us to infer a conclusion (α) from two clauses: one (α ∨ β) and the other (¬β ∨ γ). The rule focuses on the complementary literals (¬β and β)

Resolution

A powerful inference rule used to determine if a knowledge base (KB) entails a particular statement (α). It works by trying to derive a contradiction by assuming the negation of the statement and then using resolution steps to simplify the resulting clause set.

Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF)

A standard form of representing logical statements as a conjunction (AND) of clauses, where each clause is a disjunction (OR) of literals. It is useful for applying resolution, as it ensures all statements are expressed in a consistent structure.

Study Notes

Knowledge, Reasoning, and Planning

  • Knowledge-based agents use knowledge and reasoning to plan actions.
  • Agents use a knowledge base (KB) holding a collection of facts known as true sentences.
  • Domain-independent algorithms find new sentences based on entailment.

Knowledge Representation

  • Facts: Sentences known to be true.
  • Possible worlds: Models where facts are consistent with known facts. Fewer possible worlds mean more certainty.
  • Learning: Acquiring new facts, narrowing the range of possible worlds.
  • Entailment: New sentences logically deduced from existing knowledge.

Knowledge-Based Agents

  • Knowledge base (KB): A set of facts or sentences.
  • Declarative approach: Defines the agent's knowledge, separating data and program (inference).
  • Actions: Based on knowledge, using an objective function to select optimal actions (like maximizing utility or minimizing cost).

Generic Knowledge-based Agent

  • Function KB-AGENT(percept): Returns an action based on the percept.
  • Persistent KB: Knowledge base, containing information from previous percepts.
  • Counter t: Tracks the sequence of time.
  • Actions derived through queries from KB are recorded.
  • Agent processes percepts and acts based on this knowledge.

Different Languages to Represent Knowledge

  • Propositional Logic: Simple facts (true/false).
  • First-Order Logic: More complex facts, incorporating objects, relations.
  • Temporal Logic: Including time in the facts.
  • Probability Theory: Representing uncertainty about facts with probabilities.
  • Fuzzy Logic: Facts with degrees of truth.
  • Natural Language: Using words to represent facts. Allows more flexibility.

Logical Agents

  • Facts: Logical sentences known to be true.
  • Inference: Discovering new entailed sentences.
  • Implementation: Often uses Prolog; a declarative programming language.

LLMs - Large Language Models

  • Store knowledge in parameters of deep neural networks.
  • Process natural language input.
  • Generate texts based on learned patterns, relationships, and facts.

Using Natural Language for Knowledge Representation

  • Users' questions are translated into prompts.
  • LLMs produce meaningful texts based on the prompt.
  • Output is based on knowledge stored as parameters in deep networks.

LLM as a Knowledge-Based Agent

  • Pretrained knowledge base: No updates during processing.
  • Tokens generated: One each time based on the previous ones.
  • Uses transformer attention mechanism for generation.

Probabilistic Reasoning

  • Probabilistic reasoning replaces true/false with probabilities.
  • Used for situations with uncertainty.
  • Foundation for probabilistic decision-making and machine learning.

Logic (Propositional and First-Order)

  • Formal system for representing and manipulating knowledge.
  • Syntax: Rules for constructing valid sentences.
  • Semantics: Describes the relationship between sentences and the real world.

Validity and Satisfiability

  • Valid sentence: True in all models/worlds.
  • Satisfiable sentence: True in some model/world.
  • Unsatisfiable sentence: False in all models/worlds.

Possible Worlds, Models, and Truth Tables

  • Model: A representation of the world with true/false status for propositional symbols.
  • Truth table: Shows the truth value of complex sentences based on atomic sentence values.

Propositional Logic: Semantics

  • Rules for evaluating truth values of sentences, considering the model in which they exist.

Logical Equivalence

  • Two sentences are logically equivalent if they have the same truth value in all possible models.

Entailment

  • KB ã…‘ α if the sentence α logically follows from the knowledge base KB. (Meaning a is true in all models in which KB is true)

Inference

  • Logical inference: Process for generating conclusions from premises or existing knowledge (KB).
  • Sound inference: Only derives true sentences.
  • Complete inference: Derives all sentences that follow logically from the KB.

Inference Rules

  • Modus Ponens, And-elimination, And-introduction, Or-introduction, Double negative elimination, and Unit resolution. Used to derive new from existing sentences.

Resolution

  • Resolution: Inference rule to derive new sentences. Often used to derive contradictions.

Complexity of Inference

  • Propositional inference is co-NP-complete.

Example: Wumpus World

  • A sample environment to illustrate how inference is used.

Summary

  • Logical agents use inference on a knowledge base (KB) to make decisions.
  • Key concepts: syntax, semantics, entailment, inference, soundness, completeness.

Limitations of Propositional Logic

  • Handles simple facts and needs many statements to convey more complex information.

First-Order Logic

  • Extends propositional logic with objects, relations, and quantifiers .

Syntax of FOL

  • Formal language defining structure of sentences.

Universal Quantification

  • All objects satisfy a particular condition.

Existential Quantification

  • Atleast one object satisfies a particular condition.

Properties of Quantifiers

  • Quantifiers can be expressed using each other with negation.

Equality

  • Formal representation of equality between terms.

Example: The Kinship and Set Domains

  • Illustrative examples for the usage of first order logic for real-world modeling.

Inference in FOL

  • Different methods for inference in first order logic: reduction to propositional logic, direct inference on FOL.
