Important Information Regarding Exercise Sessions

Due to low demand, the exercise sessions will switch to 'on-demand' sessions. If you are a student who would like to discuss the problems from the weekly exercise sheets, please send an email to jonas.karge@tu-dresden.de

Beginning of Semester

The first lecture will take place on Monday 13 October in room APB E005 at 16:40 (DS6).

Synopsis

In this lecture, we will review the most popular logical formalisms for knowledge representation and discuss relevant aspects arising in practice, such as dealing with uncertain and inconsistent knowledge.
