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…

Automated Acquisition of Evolving Informal Descriptions
Reubenstein, Howard B.

Formato:
Enlaces:	The Listener is an automated system that unintrusively performs knowledge acquisition from informal input. The Listener develops a coherent internal representation of a description from an initial set of disorganized, imprecise, incomplete, ambiguous, and possibly inconsistent statements. The Listener can…
