Q1) What are the issues in knowledge representation in artificial intelligence?
knowledge representation:
Issues in knowledge representation:
The main objective of knowledge representation is to draw the conclusions from the knowledge, but there are many issues associated with the use of knowledge representation techniques.
Refer to the above diagram to refer to the following issues.
Choosing the granularity of representation:
While deciding the granularity of representation, it is necessary to know the following:
i. What are the primitives and at what level should the knowledge be represented?
ii. What should be the number (small or large) of low-level primitives or high-level facts?
High-level facts may be insufficient to draw the conclusion while Low-level primitives may require a lot of storage.
For example: Suppose that we are interested in following facts:
John spotted Alex.
Now, this could be represented as “Spotted (agent(John), object (Alex))”
Such a representation can make it easy to answer questions such as: Who spotted Alex?
Suppose we want to know : “Did John see Sue?”
Given only one fact, user cannot discover that answer.
Hence, the user can add other facts, such as “Spotted (x, y) → saw (x, y)”
Representing sets of objects.
There are some properties of objects which satisfy the condition of a set together but not as individual;
Example: Consider the assertion made in the sentences:
“There are more sheep than people in Australia”, and “English speakers can be found all over the world.”
These facts can be described by including an assertion to the sets representing people, sheep, and English.
