What is knowledge-based system (KBS)?


3

KBS is a knowledge intensive computer program that contains aspects of human knowledge and expertise to perform tasks ordinarily done by human expert.

Emerged from the artificial intelligence (AI) domain.

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? AI is a field which

deals with the design of a program that makes it possible to perceive, reason and act.

Machine Learning

ImageProcessing

Speech Recognition

Etc.

Robotics

Natural Language

Understanding

Expert system

Knowledge-based system

What is knowledge?


5

In 1970s, it was accepted that to make machines solve intellectual problems – had to know the solutions.

A machine has to have ‘knowledge’ i.e. ‘know how’ in some specific domain.

Knowledge is a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject or a domain.

04/05/2011

What is knowledge?


6

Concepts of the same category: the meaning of a sentence a belief a knowledge an information

They are about a property in some domain something that can be true or false in the world Ex. All humans are male or female Ex. Today’s lecture takes place in BK5

04/05/2011

What is knowledge?


7

The meaning of a descriptive natural language (NL) sentence is an information Ex. The world is flat Ex. The world is a sphere

Not all sentences have a property as meaning: Ex. The truck grew white smell Ex. Are there sentences that have meaning and

do not describe a property of the world? Ex. Search two of them on this slide!

Questions, commands, ..04/05/2011

What is knowledge?


8

Information are omnipresent in human minds and reasoning

Humans store and process massive amounts of information

Humans maintain a knowledge base of information which they consider to be true in the actual world

But humans have many other stores of “information”

04/05/2011

What is knowledge?


9

Humans store other “informations”, not considered to be true in the world: a knowledge : Ex. The world is a sphere a belief: Ex. Osama Laden is now dead a goal: Ex. I will be rich in 2012 a hope: Ex. There will be peace in Palestine in

2013 beliefs about beliefs: Ex. In the middle ages, all

people believed the earth was flat promises, obligations, . . .

These are called propositional attitudes04/05/2011

Why do we need knowledge?


10

Humans compute information all the time: e.g. whenever interpreting speech or text

Humans evaluate truth of information: Ex. Next lecture is about monkey and takes

place in the National Zoo Humans update their knowledge base

with information accordingly

04/05/2011

Why do we need knowledge?


11

Humans can reason with information to solve problems and tasks Ex. From “all KR lectures take place in room BK5”,

infer “the lecture of next week takes place in BK5” whether information are believed or not: Ex. If Bin Laden is still alive, there will be another

suicide bombing, this time in Paris. Humans have goals and they use knowledge

to compute plans of actions to reach goals Ex. To attend the KR lecture, you came to BK5

located at Block B. Ex. To become rich, I will create spin-off company

04/05/2011

Other sorts of knowledge


12

Defeasible knowledge Ex. Birds can fly.

Probabilistic knowledge Ex. Chances are high that tomorrow will be

sunny. Vague knowledge

Ex. The weather is beautiful. The house too. Declarative versus Procedural

Knowledge Important issues in AI and psychology

04/05/2011

Types of Knowledge


13

Declarative Procedural Semantic Episodic Commonsense Heuristic

04/05/2011

Declarative Knowledge


14

Surface level knowledge Attributes and characteristics Example:

describe this room

04/05/2011

Procedural Knowledge


15

Processes and Procedures Skills Example:

How did you get to this room How do you drive a car

04/05/2011

Semantic Knowledge


16

Relations and connections How things fit together Example:

What do you think about when I say “room” and “door”?

The relationship between signs, symbols and what they represent

04/05/2011

Episodic Knowledge


17

Stories, cases, examples Based on experiences Example:

Tell me about your birthday celebration

04/05/2011

Commonsense Knowledge


18

General knowledge about the world Obvious to most people Built up over time Example:

Buildings contain rooms Rooms are smaller than buildings

04/05/2011

Heuristic Knowledge


19

Rule-of-thumb Directional accuracy; doesn’t guarantee

outcome IF-THEN rules Example:

If the lights are out, no one is home.

Declarative & Procedural K.


21

Declarative info: properties about world; “declarative” means “descriptive” The "what" or content of learning; knowing a piece of

information - a fact, a concept, or a label. Humans have lots of procedural knowledge

We remember certain procedures that yield useful goals When the goal rises, we execute the procedure (without

reasoning) Easy and Fast!!

Old controversy II: Which knowledge is most important for AI? Declarative AI-languages (e.g. logics) versus procedural AI-languages (e.g. production systems).

04/05/2011



22

Ex. Goal: clean clothes; Your laundry procedure

Ex. Goal: to eat; your restaurant procedure, your menu procedure, . . .

Ex. Goal: to have information; your text or speech interpretation procedure

Ex. Calculation: 22 x 45 = 22 + 22 +……+22 (45 times) Our procedure 2 2

x 4 5 1 1 0 8 8 9 9 0

04/05/2011



23

What is a procedure? A known pattern of actions

Subconscious processing: Sometimes we cannot control executions of

a procedure Ex. Count the number of words in the

following sentence without interpreting the sentence:“I said do not interpret this sentence!”

04/05/2011

What is knowledge representation?


24

Many definitions…. KR is the study of:

How knowledge about the world can be represented, &

What kinds of reasoning can be done with that knowledge

It is the process of focusing and representing only the essential part of real world problem into some representation.

04/05/2011

What is reasoning?


25

A method of thinking Process of constructing new configurations

(sentences) from old ones proper reasoning ensures that the new

configurations represent facts that actually follow from the facts that the old configurations represent

this relationship is called entailment and can be expressed asKB |= alpha knowledge base KB entails the sentence alpha

04/05/2011

What is knowledge engineering?


26

The disciplines for developing/building KBSs.

The activities – transferring & transforming aspects of problem solving expertise from knowledge sources into a program or system.

A number of methodologies to support knowledge engineering activities have been proposed.

04/05/2011

Principles of KR


27

Five basic principles about KR & their role in artificial intelligence:

1. A KR is a surrogate2. A KR is a set of ontological commitment3. A KR is a fragmentary theory of

intelligence reasoning4. A KR is a medium for efficient

computation5. A KR is a medium of human expression

04/05/2011

KR is a surrogate


28

Physical objects, events and relationships which cannot be stored directly in a computer – represented by symbols – serve as a surrogates for the external things.

04/05/2011

Ontological commitments


29

Ontology is the study of existence For a database of knowledge base,

ontology determines the things that exist in the application domain

Those categories represents the ontological commitment of the designer

04/05/2011

Fragmentary theory of intelligence reasoning


30

To support reasoning about the things in a domain, a KR must describe their behavior and interaction.

04/05/2011

Medium for efficient computation


31

Besides representing knowledge, an AI system must encode knowledge in a form that can be processed efficiently

04/05/2011

Medium for human expression


32

A good KR language should facilitate communication between the knowledge engineer who understand AI and the domain experts who understand the application

04/05/2011

KR Technique


33

A number of early knowledge representation techniques are: Rules Semantic net Frames Logic

04/05/2011

What will you learn next…..

Logic (propositional + description)

Semantic Net Frame Rules Knowledge

Ontology and ontology engineering
