Taxonomic Syntax for First-Order Inference
McAllester, David - Givan, Robert

Formato:
Enlaces:	Most knowledge representation languages are based on classes and taxonomic relationships between classes. Taxonomic hierarchies without defaults or exceptions are semantically equivalent to a collection of formulas in first order predicate calculus. Although designers of knowledge representation languages often express…
