Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to

  • to name and explain different logics and logic-based formalisms for knowledge representation,
  • to select suitable methods and techniques for a given problem, and

Subject of course

Knowledge representation is a part of AI dealing with suitable methods to make knowledge about a certain domain accessible to computers. The area of knowledge representation comprises techniques from different disciplines, in particular from logic and ontology.

In this course we deal with different logics for knowledge representation.
