- Course objectives
- Students enrolled in the course will obtain knowledge on a rather new discipline Logical semantics and knowledge representation that belongs to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence.
Adequate analysis of the meaning of natural language expressions consists in discovering algorithmically structured procedure known as TIL construction encoded by the expression. The analysis should be as fine-grained as possible so that the inference machine is neither over-inferring nor under-inferring. At the same time it is necessary to formalize the results of an analysis so that they are computationally tractable. - Learning outcomes
- The students will learn to solve relevant problems in such a way that undesirable paradoxes and inconsistencies are avoided. The formalized analysis can be used in knowledge-base systems of artificial intelligence, in automatic translation, in multi-agent systems, etc.
