    Study Notes

    Knowledge Representation

    • Knowledge representation (KR) is the way we represent knowledge in a way that can be used by a computer.
    • A priori knowledge is knowledge that is known before any experience, and is considered to be universally true.
    • A posteriori knowledge is knowledge that is learned through experience and can be verified through the senses.
    • Procedural knowledge is knowledge of how to do something.
    • Declarative knowledge is knowledge of what is true or false.

    Mine Sweeper Example

    • In the Minesweeper game, the goal is to find a path from the start to the exit field on a board with hidden mines.
    • A device can detect the number of mines in neighboring fields, but not the exact location.
    • Knowledge in the Minesweeper game can be represented using binary variables (0/1) to denote the presence or absence of a mine in a specific cell.
    • For example, B13 = 0 indicates there is no mine in cell 13.

    Knowledge Base

    • To safely navigate the Minesweeper board, we need facts and rules about the game.
    • A "knowledge base (KB)" is an internal representation of facts and rules that serves as the starting point for reasoning.
    • A language is needed to express facts and rules in the KB.

    Symbol Structures

    • In traditional AI, it is assumed that knowledge can be represented as symbol structures.
    • These symbol structures include complex data structures that represent objects, concepts, facts, rules, and strategies.
    • For example, "red" could represent the color red, "car1" could represent a specific car, and "red(car1)" could represent the fact that the car is red.

    Language Possibilities for KR

    • Three possible language choices for KR:
      • Natural languages: Expressive but ambiguous, making inference difficult.
      • Programming languages: Precise but lack expressiveness, not suitable for representing all types of knowledge.
      • Formalisms: Balance expressiveness and precision, such as logic.

    Ideal Properties of a Knowledge Representation Language

    • An ideal KR language should have:
      • Representational adequacy/expressiveness
      • Clear syntax and semantics
      • Inferential adequacy
      • Inferential efficiency
      • Naturalness
      • Consistency

    Representing Facts

    • Facts can be represented using natural language strings, but this makes manipulation and conclusion drawing difficult for machines.
    • Some notations/languages are limited in representing certain aspects like time, beliefs, and uncertainty.

    KR Language Syntax and Semantics

    • KR languages need precise syntax and semantics to define the meaning of expressions.
    • Syntax specifies which combinations of symbols are valid expressions in the language.
    • Semantics defines the meaning of expressions in terms of objects in the real world.

    Naturalness and Inferential Adequacy

    • A KR scheme should be intuitive and "natural" for human readers to understand.
    • Inferential adequacy refers to how easy it is to draw new conclusions from existing facts using the represented knowledge.
    • Natural language strings have good representational adequacy and naturalness, but poor inferential adequacy.
    • Representing everything using natural language strings may lead to inefficiencies in complex deductions.

    Inferential Efficiency and Consistency

    • A KR system should be efficient enough to perform complex deductions without becoming hopelessly inefficient.
    • A consistent KR system avoids redundant information and conflicting information.

    Logic in KR: Propositional Logic

    • Logic provides a formal language with precise syntax and semantics, and supports sound inference.
    • Propositional logic is a simple language that deals with propositions, which are statements that have a truth value (true or false).
    • Propositional symbols are used to represent propositions, and their semantics define their meaning.
    • Logical connectives like "and" (), "or" (), "implies" (), and "if and only if" (↔) are used to combine propositions.

    Implication (=>) in Propositional Logic

    • P=>Q means "if P is true, then I am claiming that Q is true, otherwise no claim."
    • The implication is only false when P is true and Q is false.

    Inference Rules in Propositional Logic

    • Inference rules are used to derive new conclusions (true statements) from existing knowledge (true premises).
    • One example is Modus Ponens: "If A is true and A  B is true, then conclude that B is true."

    Limitations of Propositional Logic

    • Propositional logic cannot represent general statements that include quantifiers (such as "all" or "some").
    • It lacks expressiveness for representing quantification, which is common in knowledge and reasoning processes.

    Predicate Logic

    • Predicate logic is a more expressive logic that can represent quantification.
    • It introduces predicates, which are functions that return a truth value (true or false) based on their arguments.
    • Quantifiers like "for all" (∀) and "there exists" (∃) allow us to express general statements about objects.
