Study Notes
Knowledge Representation Issues
- Various ways to represent knowledge, including predicate calculus, procedural, network, and structured representations.
- Each type of representation has its own set of problems, including hierarchies and inheritance, and exceptions.
Evaluating a Knowledge Representation
- Naturalness, uniformity, and understandability are important considerations.
- Degree to which knowledge is explicit (declarative) or embedded in procedural code is crucial.
- Modularity and flexibility of the knowledge base are also important.
- Efficiency of knowledge retrieval and the heuristic power of the inference procedure are key considerations.
Multiple Knowledge Representations
- No single knowledge representation method is ideally suited for all tasks.
- Multiple knowledge representations can be used, each tailored to a different subtask.
- Production rules and frames work well in practice.
- Object-oriented knowledge representations, such as hypermedia, can also be used.
Knowledge Representation Requirements
- Knowledge representation must support acquiring knowledge, retrieving knowledge, and reasoning.
- Once acquired, knowledge must be organized for use.
Knowledge Base and Inference Mechanism
- A knowledge base forms the system's intelligence source.
- An inference mechanism uses the knowledge base to reason and draw conclusions.
- The knowledge base and inference mechanism are used to answer questions, solve problems, or make decisions within the domain.
Logical Representations
- Symbolic logic is a system of rules and procedures that permits the drawing of inferences from various premises.
- Basic forms of computational logic include propositional logic and predicate logic.
- Propositional logic deals with statements that are either true or false.
- Predicate logic breaks a statement down into component parts, including objects, object characteristics, or object assertions.
Other Representation Schemes
- Lists are used to represent hierarchical knowledge.
- Decision tables are used to organize knowledge in a spreadsheet format.
- Decision trees are used to simplify the knowledge acquisition process.
- O-A-V triplets are used to represent objects, attributes, and values.
Representative O-A-V Items
- Objects may be physical or conceptual.
- Attributes are the characteristics of the objects.
- Values are specific measures of the attributes.
- Examples of O-A-V triplets include house-bedroom-number, house-color-value, and admission to a university-GPA-value.
