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
