    Study Notes

    Knowledge Representation

    • Representing knowledge effectively is crucial in Artificial Intelligence (AI).
    • Knowledge representation focuses on both storing knowledge efficiently and implementing reasoning processes.
    • Knowledge acts as a primary factor in guiding intelligent system decisions.
    • To make decisions, AI agents require a knowledge base (KB) which stores facts about the world.

    What is Knowledge?

    • Data represents primitive verifiable facts, often voluminous and frequently changing.
    • Information is interpreted data.
    • Knowledge encompasses relationships between data sets (information) which can be used for deducing new information; it is typically general.
    • Knowledge represents the behavior of abstract models of the world.

    General Knowledge Representations

    • Five common schemas for knowledge representation:
      • Logic-based representation (First Order Predicate Logic, FOL)
      • Procedural representation (Production Rules)
      • Network representation (Semantic Networks, Conceptual Graphs)
      • Structural representation (Scripts, Frames, Objects)

    Logic-Based Representation

    • Propositional Logic:
      • Represents knowledge as propositions (statements that are either true or false).
      • Uses logical operators like AND (), OR (), NOT (), implication (), and equivalence () to combine propositions.
      • Example:
        • "If it is raining (p), then the ground is wet (q)."
        • "If the ground is wet (q), then the ground is slippery (r)."
        • "It is raining (p)."
    • First Order Logic (FOL):
      • Extends propositional logic by incorporating relations, objects, and functions applied to objects.
      • Allows reasoning about truths, falsehoods, and unknowns about these relations.
      • Constructs:
        • Constants: Represent objects (e.g., John, apples)
        • Predicates: Represent properties and relations (e.g., likes(john, apples))
        • Functions: Transform objects (e.g., likes(john, fruit_of(apple_tree)))
        • Variables: Represent any object (e.g., likes(X, apples))
        • Quantifiers: Qualify variable values:
          • Universal: ∀X (True for all objects)
          • Existential: ∃X (True for at least one object)

    Procedural Representation: Production Rules

    • Production rules involve sets of "if condition then action" pairs.
    • This results in a match-resolve-act cycle.
      • Match: The agent checks if each rule's condition holds.
      • Resolve: The agent selects a rule to execute from a set of rules whose conditions match (conflict set).
      • Act: If a rule's condition holds, it "fires" and its action is carried out.
    • Working memory holds knowledge that can be accessed and written to by production rules.
    • This mechanism allows new knowledge generated by a rule to potentially trigger other rules.

    Network Representations: Semantic Networks

    • Semantic networks represent objects as nodes.
    • Relationships between these objects are depicted in a hierarchical network.
    • This allows for inheritance of properties, which is analogous to OOP (Object-Oriented Programming).
    • Example:
      • Fact-1: Canary is a bird.
      • Fact-2: Birds can fly.
      • Fact-3: Canary is yellow in color.
      • Fact-4: Birds have wings.

    Structural Representation: Frame Representations

    • A frame is a data structure representing knowledge about a specific object or concept.
    • These frames provide a more natural way to organize values than semantic networks, allowing constraints to be imposed on potential values for each slot within a frame.
    • Frame representations can be implemented using OOP techniques.
    • Inheritance of properties is easily managed in frame-based systems.
