Epistemological Problems of Artificial Intelligence

"The epistemological part of Al studies what kinds of facts about the world are available to an observer with given opportunities to observe, how these facts can be represented in the memory of a computer, and what rules permit legitimate conclusions to be drawn from these facts. It leaves aside the heuristic problems of how to search spaces of possibilities and how to match patterns."See also: IJCAI 5, 1038-1044In Readings in Artificial Intelligence, B.L. Webber and N.J.
