Knowledge engineering: principles and methods

TL;DR: The paradigm shift from a transfer view to a modeling view is discussed and two approaches which considerably shaped research in Knowledge Engineering are described: Role-limiting Methods and Generic Tasks.
Book

The generative lexicon

TL;DR: It is argued that lexical decomposition is possible if it is performed generatively and a theory of lexical inheritance is outlined, which provides the necessary principles of global organization for the lexicon, enabling us to fully integrate the authors' natural language lexicon into a conceptual whole.

Development and application of a metric on semantic nets

TL;DR: Experiments in which distance is applied to pairs of concepts and to sets of concepts in a hierarchical knowledge base show the power of hierarchical relations in representing information about the conceptual distance between concepts.

Semantic database modeling: survey, applications, and research issues

TL;DR: This paper provides a tutorial introduction to the primary components of semantic models, which are the explicit representation of objects, attributes of and relationships among objects, type constructors for building complex types, ISA relationships, and derived schema components.

What Is a Knowledge Representation

TL;DR: It is argued that keeping in mind all five of these roles that a representation plays provides a usefully broad perspective that sheds light on some longstanding disputes and can invigorate both research and practice in the field.

Word and Object

TL;DR: This edition offers a new preface by Quine's student and colleague Dagfinn Follesdal that describes the never-realized plans for a second edition of Word and Object, in which Quine would offer a more unified treatment of the public nature of meaning, modalities, and propositional attitudes.
Book

Naming and Necessity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make a connection between the mind-body problem and the so-called "identity thesis" in analytic philosophy, which has wide-ranging implications for other problems in philosophy that traditionally might be thought far-removed.

A logic for default reasoning

TL;DR: This paper proposes a logic for default reasoning, develops a complete proof theory and shows how to interface it with a top down resolution theorem prover, and provides criteria under which the revision of derived beliefs must be effected.
Book

Principles of Artificial Intelligence

TL;DR: This classic introduction to artificial intelligence describes fundamental AI ideas that underlie applications such as natural language processing, automatic programming, robotics, machine vision, automatic theorem proving, and intelligent data retrieval.
