Exercise test which covers 3 exercise sheets
Mandatory (closed book) exercise test on June 16 (time TBA). The test examines the following three exercise sheets and their background:
- Sheet 1: Rules + Predicate Logic
- Sheet 2: Description Logics + Truth Maintenance Systems
- Sheet 3: Answer Set Programming + Probabilistic Reasoning
- The exercise test is closed book and planned to be in presence, otherwise in online form for which the following infrastructure is required: stable internet connection, a device with webcam and microphone, either a printer or a second device to view a PDF, and a scanner or camera with software to generate a single PDF of the written test.
