Knowledge Representation (Chapter 2: AI Handbook)

An essential problem space employed by all AI products, this is a very simple introduction to knowledge representation and their applications. In artificial intelligence (AI), knowledge representation is the process of encoding information about the world into a form that computers can use to solve problems. Usually, this means creating formal models of concepts and how they relate to each other. The goal is to make it possible for a computer to draw logical conclusions from a set of facts or hypotheses. No ideal form of knowledge representation exists that applies in all contexts.
