• Summary Handout

Note: AIMA refers to the Russell/Norvig book, KELN refers to the Smaill/Shen lecture notes provided on the Knowledge Engineering module Web page. IAMAS and MAS refer to the Wooldridge/Weiss books, respectively. SWP refers to the van Harmelen/Antoniou book.

Some people have asked for a list of AIMA chapters to copy for the entire course, so I have put together a list of relevant chapters: 18.3, 19.1, 10.1-10.7, 14.1-14.7.
NB: This is not an exhaustive or final list, it may be restricted or extended depending on what we will get to cover in the course.
For those who want to refresh their knowledge of logic, I recommend chapters 7, 8 and optionally 9.
