logic
logic 1. A knowledge representation and reasoning formalism originally developed by mathematicians to formalize mathematical reasoning. In mathematical logic the investigation involves mathematical methods taken from algebra or the theory of algorithms. The two most common systems are
propositional calculus and
predicate calculus.
Logic has been widely adopted within artificial intelligence, for example as an alternative to
production rules in expert systems and for representing the meaning of natural language statements (see
natural-language understanding). Many alternative logics have been developed in artificial intelligence to represent the vagueness and uncertainty of common sense (as opposed to mathematical knowledge) and to represent the tentative nature of
common-sense reasoning; these include
nonmonotonic reasoning and uncertain reasoning (see
uncertainty).
