Logique de descriptionLes logiques de description aussi appelées logiques descriptives (LD) sont une famille de langages de représentation de connaissance qui peuvent être utilisés pour représenter la connaissance terminologique d'un domaine d'application d'une manière formelle et structurée. Le nom de logique de description se rapporte, d'une part à la description de concepts utilisée pour décrire un domaine et d'autre part à la sémantique basée sur la logique qui peut être donnée par une transcription en logique des prédicats du premier ordre.
Symbolic artificial intelligenceIn artificial intelligence, symbolic artificial intelligence is the term for the collection of all methods in artificial intelligence research that are based on high-level symbolic (human-readable) representations of problems, logic and search. Symbolic AI used tools such as logic programming, production rules, semantic nets and frames, and it developed applications such as knowledge-based systems (in particular, expert systems), symbolic mathematics, automated theorem provers, ontologies, the semantic web, and automated planning and scheduling systems.
Knowledge representation and reasoningKnowledge representation and reasoning (KRR, KR&R, KR2) is the field of artificial intelligence (AI) dedicated to representing information about the world in a form that a computer system can use to solve complex tasks such as diagnosing a medical condition or having a dialog in a natural language. Knowledge representation incorporates findings from psychology about how humans solve problems and represent knowledge in order to design formalisms that will make complex systems easier to design and build.
