Example 10.1.6
Using a Graph to Represent Knowledge
In many applications of artifical intelligence, a knowledge base of information is collected and represented inside a computer. Because of the way the knowledge is represented and because of the properties that govern the artificial intelligence program, the computer is not limited to retrieving data in the same form as it was entered; it can also derive new facts from the knowledge base by using certain built-in rules of inference. For example, from the knowledge that the Los Angeles Times is a big-city daily and that a big-city daily contains national news, an artifical intelligence program could infer that the Los Angeles Times contains national news. The directed graph shown in Figure 10.1.2 is a pictorial representation for a simplified knowledge base about periodical publications.
According to this knowledge base, what paper finish does the New York Times use?
