Study Notes
Knowledge Representation Language
- A sentence in knowledge representation language is a meaningful statement that conveys information using symbols and their syntactic structure.
Propositional Logic
- Statements that can be either true or false in propositional logic are referred to as propositions.
- Propositional symbols typically represent simple facts or assertions, often corresponding to discrete statements about the world.
- The logical symbol that inverses the truth value of a proposition is known as negation (¬).
Logical Connectives
- Propositions connected with 'And (∧)' are true only when both propositions it connects are true.
- For 'Or (∨)' to be true in propositional logic, at least one of the propositions must be true.
First-Order Logic
- Constant symbols in first-order logic represent specific entities or objects within the domain of discourse.
- In the expression 'Person(Minerva)', the predicate symbol 'Person' identifies the type or property being asserted about Minerva.
Predicate Symbols
- An example of a predicate symbol is any symbol that expresses a property or relationship, such as 'Likes' or 'IsA'.
- The notion that Minerva is not a house can be expressed in first-order logic as ¬House(Minerva).
Arguments and Representations
- In the expression 'BelongsTo(Minerva, Gryffindor)', the two arguments represent Minerva, who is an entity, and Gryffindor, which represents a house or category.
- First-order logic allows for more compact and expressive representations of relationships and properties compared to propositional logic, especially regarding people and their assignments.
Propositional Analysis
- From the proposition 'It is not true that both Harry and Ron passed the test', it can be concluded that at least one of them did not pass.
- The proposition 'It is not true that Harry or Ron passed the test' can be rephrased as 'Both Harry and Ron did not pass the test'.
Inference as a Search Problem
- In the context of inference as a search problem, the 'Initial state' represents the starting conditions or facts known before any inference is made.
- The 'Resolution' inference rule states that if a set of propositions implies a contradiction, then one of those propositions must be false, allowing for derivation of new facts.
- The 'Transition model' describes how the state transitions from one configuration to another based on actions taken.
- The purpose of the 'Goal test' is to determine whether the current state satisfies the conditions for reaching the desired outcomes or goals in the inference process.
