Knowledge Representation

/ˈnɒlɪdʒ ˌrɛprɪzɛnˈteɪʃən/

Knowledge representation is a field in artificial intelligence concerned with how knowledge can be formally expressed and manipulated. It involves the use of various structures, such as ontologies, semantic networks, and frames, to represent information about the world in a way that a computer system can utilize to solve complex tasks. Main characteristics include the ability to reason about knowledge, the representation of relationships between concepts, and the facilitation of inference processes. Common use cases include natural language understanding, expert systems, and automated reasoning applications that require a structured understanding of information.
