Computers should help people deal with everyday problems from making decisions to playing games. To offer more help, computers need more complete representations of knowledge, defined as useful incorporated information. This web site provides tools to collaborate on creating more complete representations, starting with textual natural language.
This research web site explores a hypothesis about representing knowledge:
Tractable means easily managed or controlled (probabilistic) rather than running in polynomial time (deterministic).
Knowledge Representations drive the implementations of general purpose computing, called Artificial Intelligence as it approaches human capabilities. An implementation of the hypothesis can satisfy goals for Knowledge Representation of being: helpful, understandable, principled, parsimonious, small, and secure. Many classes of use cases could use this implementation:
An implementation of the hypotheses could support several requirements that can be derived from these use cases: capability, access, context, uncertainty, judgment, adaptability, efficiency, and possibly scale. The comparison of methods page gives more details.
Collaborators are welcome to add their thoughts about how anything may be described. Such philosophical insights may be given without specific consideration of the logic, probability, or algorithms that handle them.
Register to read more. Make an edition to collaborate. As desired, add primitives or condition groups with outcomes.
This introduction, comparison of methods, glossary, references, and site implementation pages are openly available. However, most pages are only available to registered collaborators.
Collaborators register with the site providing at least postal codes, such as a U.S. ZIP code, which provides a locality, and E-mail addresses so that a site administrator may authenticate them. Since authentication is manual, new potential collaborators may gain full access slowly, particularly if the information provided is minimal.
Except for a self-assigned identifier string, all collaborator information is only available to administrators, unless collaborators choose to share their information with other authenticated collaborators.
Only a few pages are visible without logging in.
