Example Knowledge Base in FOL
Consider a knowledge base representing a simple family relationship:
- Constants:
- John, Mary
- Predicates:
- Parent(x, y): x is a parent of y.
- Male(x): x is male.
- Female(x): x is female.
- Statements:
- Parent(John, Mary)
- Male(John)
- Female(Mary)
- (No one is their own parent).
Knowledge Representation in First Order Logic
When we talk about knowledge representation, it’s like we’re creating a map of information for AI to use. First-order logic (FOL) acts like a special language that helps us build this map in a detailed and organized way. It’s important because it allows us to understand not only facts but also the relationships and connections between objects. In this article, we will discuss the fundamentals of Knowledge Representation in First-Order Logic
