Study Notes

Propositional Logic

  • Propositional logic (PL) is the simplest form of logic
  • A proposition is a declarative statement that is either true or false
  • Atomic propositions are single symbols (e.g., uppercase letters with or without subscripts)
  • Compound propositions are built from atomic propositions using logical connectives (e.g., conjunction, disjunction) and parentheses
  • Logical connectors include negation, conjunction, disjunction, implication and biconditional
  • Truth tables are used to determine the truth values of propositions

Knowledge-based Agents

  • Intelligent agents need knowledge about the world to make good decisions
  • Knowledge bases are composed of sentences (assertions about the world) and inference mechanisms
  • Knowledge bases contain domain-specific content
  • Inference mechanisms use domain-independent algorithms to derive new information
  • Declarative approach to building agent involves telling it what to know and asking what to do.

The Wumpus World

  • A 4x4 grid environment with pits, wumpus, and gold
  • An agent starts in a room and needs to navigate the cave avoiding the wumpus and pit
  • Agent perceives the environment (stench, breeze, glitter)

Overview

  • Knowledge-based agents, Wumpus World, logical agents, building propositions, inference rules, theorem proving
  • Conversion to CNF
  • Forward and Backward Chaining

Inference Rules

  • Modus Ponens
  • Modus Tollens
  • Common rules
    • Addition p pV q
    • Simplification pΛ q q
    • Disjunctive-syllogism pV q not p q
    • Hypothetical-syllogism p → q q → r p → r
  • Types of propositions: tautology, contradiction, contingency

Truth Tables

  • Semantics defined by truth tables.
  • Boolean values are true or false
  • Number of rows in a truth table is 2n where n is the number of atomic propositions
  • Used for propositional logic evaluation.

Logical Equivalence

  • Two propositions are logically equivalent if their truth tables agree.
  • Written as p ≡ q or simply p = q

Properties of Operators

  • Commutativity; associativity, identity, double-negation elimination, idempotence
  • Distributivity
  • De Morgan's laws

Theorem Proving and Proof by Resolution

  • Search for proofs is a more efficient way compared to truth table enumeration
  • Resolution is a complete inference rule for propositional logic

Conversion to CNF and Resolution Algorithm

  • Conversion (steps):
  • Eliminate equivalencies
  • Eliminate implications
  • Move inwards using de Morgan's laws and double negation
  • Apply distributivity law (over AND/OR) and flatten
  • Resolution inference rule (CNF): rule used to derive new conclusions

Forward and Backward Chaining

  • Forward Chaining: works from facts to conclusion
  • Backward Chaining: works from goal to facts

Limits of Propositional Logic

  • Propositional logic has limitations in expressing complex information about the world
    • Not expressive enough to describe all scenarios.
    • Not compact enough for certain types of information
