INF2D: Week 5: Resolution, Situation Calculus, Revision

This week, we continue our study of first-order logic with a look at algorithms for inference. We specifically focus on forward and backward chaining and resolution:
13: Resolution

We then expand our discussion to the design of logical agents that are good at planning their actions for achieving a certain goal. We will focus on a fragment of First-Order Logic called Situation Calculus, which is appropriate for reasoning about the results of actions, and we are going to address the Frame Problem:
14: Situation Calculus

We will conclude the first half of Inf2D with a review lecture of what we have learned so far and how to solve sample exercises:
15: Revision + Q&A

If there is anything you don't understand, then you can: 

  1. Ask during the lecture;
  2. Post a question on Piazza;
  3. Ask your tutor.
