Commonsense Reasoning

Commonsense reasoning is the branch of Artificial intelligence concerned with replicating human thinking. There are several components to this problem, including:

  • Developing adequately broad and deep commonsense knowledge bases.
  • Developing reasoning methods that exhibit the features of human thinking, including the ability to:
    • reason with knowledge that is true by default
    • reason rapidly across a broad range of domains
    • tolerate uncertainty in your knowledge
    • take decisions under incomplete knowledge and perhaps revise that belief or decision when complete knowledge becomes available.
  • Developing new kinds of cognitive architectures that support multiple reasoning methods and representations.

Famous quotes containing the word reasoning:

    “The method of authority will always govern the mass of mankind; and those who wield the various forms of organized force in the state will never be convinced that dangerous reasoning ought not to be suppressed in some way.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
