KNOWLEDGE Flashcards
These are agents that reason by operating on internal representations of knowledge
Knowledge-Based Agents
an assertion about the world in a knowledge representation language
Sentence
based on propositions, statements about the world that can be either true or false
Propositional logic
are most often letters (P, Q, R) that are used to represent a proposition
Propositional symbols
are logical symbols that connect propositional symbols in order to reason in a more complex way about the world.
Logical connectives
inverses the truth value of the proposition
Not (¬)
connects two different propositions
And (∧)
is true as as long as either of its arguments is true
Or (∨)
represents a structure of “if P then Q.”
Implication
In the case of P implies Q (P → Q), P is called the ___ and Q is called the ____
antecedent, consequent
is an implication that goes both directions
Biconditional
is an assignment of a truth value to every proposition
model
a set of sentences known by a knowledge-based agent
knowledge base
If α ⊨ β (α entails β), then in any world where α is true, β is true, too.
Entailment
the process of deriving new sentences from old ones.
Inference
Model Checking algorithm.
To determine if KB ⊨ α (in other words, answering the question: “can we conclude that α is true based on our knowledge base”)
Enumerate all possible models.
If in every model where KB is true, α is true as well, then KB entails α (KB ⊨ α).
the process of figuring out how to represent propositions and logic in AI.
Knowledge engineering
Why is model checking not an efficient algorithm
because it has to consider every possible model before giving the answer
allow us to generate new information based on existing knowledge without considering every possible model.
Inference rules
a powerful inference rule that states that if one of two atomic propositions in an Or proposition is false, the other has to be true.
resolution
resolution relies on
complimentary literals
two of the same atomic propositions where one is negated and the other is not, such as P and ¬P.
complimentary literals
a disjunction of literals
clause
consists of propositions that are connected with an Or logical connective
disjunction
