  • Credits: 3.0
  • Type: VU Lecture and Exercise
  • Format: Hybrid

Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to use results from some central topics in knowledge representation and reasoning in theory and for practical application. They are prepared to analyze and solve theoretical problems in these areas, as well as to model and solve problems using tools from knowledge representation and reasoning.

Subject of course

Foundations of knowledge representation: models, algorithms, formalisms, and techniques.

Tentative subjects are: belief revision, non-monotonic reasoning, logic programming, reasoning abot actions and planning; abductive reasoning; expressiveness of knowledge representation formalisms.

Teaching methods

Teaching of basic material in traditional frontal lecture  with interaction with the students. Small problems to think between units, and an exercise part in which problems of theoretic nature (analysis of properties) and practical problem solving (e.g. planning, combinatorial problems) is considered. Background literature will be used in that.

Mode of examination

Written
