Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
The course explores theories of knowledge representation including First-Order Logic. The course also explores reasoning strategies and systems emphasising Horn Clauses, and Procedural and Object-oriented control of reasoning with facts and rules.
After the course, the students shall be able to discuss and apply theories for knowledge representation and reasoning strategies in intelligent systems.
The student must be able to explain knowledge representation and reasoning strategies, such as first-order logic and reasoning with rules, must apply these in own research. The results must be presented in a journal publication in an international well-known journal, such as Elsevier Information Science or similar.
