Record 1 2024-05-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

A rule that produces new assertions from old, either by the application of strict logical principles or by more imperfect, plausible methods.

CONT

The inference rules include generalization rules. Their application to descriptions is constrained by problem background knowledge.

CONT

forward inference rule.

CONT

To teach the geography of Africa we would need to change only the entries in our semantic network, the structure of the network and the rules of inference remaining largely unchanged.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Règle qui permet de créer de nouvelles assertions à partir d’assertions déjà existantes; les deux règles principales sont le modus ponens [...] et la "spécialisation universelle" consistant à remplacer une variable quantifiée par une constante.

CONT

On peut distinguer des stratégies qui sont principalement inductives, déductives, abductives ou analogiques selon la nature des règles d’inférence appliquées.

Record 4 1986-10-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

quantifier: one of the two symbols used in the extended propositional calculus and the predicate calculus. The universal quantifier is read "for all" and the existential quantifier is read "there exists". One or more variables must immediately follow the quantifier; they are called "bound variables". These must be followed by a predicate, which may contain variables known as "free variables". The whole quantified predicate states the truth value of the predicate concerning the free variables ...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

La distinction importante entre logique des propositions et logique des prédicats. La puissance additionnelle de la logique des prédicats résulte de la possibilité d’utiliser des variables quantifiées.
