Date and time (two separate occasions):
 
* 2. June (Tuesday) at 10:00 in room <b>SOC-214</b> (Majandus- ja sotsiaalteaduste maja)
* 9. June (Tuesday) at 10:00 in room <b>SOC-210</b> (Majandus- ja sotsiaalteaduste maja)
 
4 questions, one for each block. Each question is a small task in encoding information. No programming excersices.
 
* 1. task: encoding data in a conventional relational database in RDF, inventing suitable ID-s, converting selects with where conditions and joins to first order rule form.
 
* 2. task: encoding data/rules in RDFs (perhaps additionally in RDFa). Writing 1st order rules about the meaning of RDFs built-in axioms and deriving data using RDFs built-in axioms. Concrete derivation systems are not required: just deriving correct information. It is also important to understand ways to uri-s as global id-s and encoding data in both html metainfo part and in pages, using RDFa.
 
* 3. task: encoding uncertain knowledge. You will first have to encode a small scenario using several different systems: default logic, probabilistic logic, fuzzy logic. Second, you have to show what can you derive using one or another formalism.
 
 
* 4. tasks: building indexes. Given a small dataset(s), you will have to build several indexes. Which indexes: trie indexes for words in a text, discrimination tree indexes for generalizations of terms, path indexes for concretisations of terms. For the latter two, use the [http://www.lambda.ee/index.php/Pilt:Mccuneindexing.pdf mccune paper]

The exam will consist of several small excercises.


Practical work will give 40% and exam 60% of points underlying the final grade. NB! Course ITV0060 and ITT0020 attendees may optionally do the third lab and get 60% from labs and 40% from exam.
== Focus ==
 
The main focus of the course is on KR ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_representation knowledge representation]): how to represent nontrivial information in programs and databases, how to build and use indexes for efficient search through large sets of knowledge. Check out [http://www.lisperati.com/tellstuff/ this description].
 
The course contains four blocks built on each other:
 
* Background and basics. Representing simple facts.
* Representing rules.
* Time, planning and uncertain knowledge.
* Indexes and search.
 
Books to use:
 
* Ca half of the course themes are covered in [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781558609327 this book] with freely accessible pdf-s.
* The freely accesible pdf of the [http://ii.fmph.uniba.sk/kri/KRhandbook.pdf handbook if knowledge representation] gives a detailed and thorough coverage of the subject; far more than necessary for the course.
* Interesting to browse: [http://www.aaai.org/Library/KR/kr12contents.php recent conference proceedings]
* Interesting to browse: [http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~shapiro/Courses/CSE563/Slides/krrSlides.pdf course materials], [http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs227/ course materials]
 
Observe that a noticeable part of the course contents are not covered by these books: use the course materials and links to papers, standards and tutorials provided.


== Practical work ==
== Practical work ==


* For ITV0060 and ITT0020: two labs on the same theme.
There are three labs: the first two are obligatory, third is optional. The labs have to be presented to the prof and all students present at labwork.
* For ITX8075: same two labs plus a third lab below.
* As noted above, course ITV0060 and ITT0020 attendees may optionally do the third lab and get 60% from labs and 40% from exam.


=== First lab 2015 ===


=== First lab ===
The goal of the first lab is to write a software system able to scrape factual raw data about an address (like "Akadeemia tee 12, Tallinn") given to the program.


Date: 13 March.  
Basically, search for web pages containing the name or similar names and extract relevant words from the list you create: words closer to the name and with more occurrences are also more important/better match. Titles/headlines above the word are also more likely to be important. It may be a good idea to do some searches together with interesting keywords already. Also, whenever you do a search / pull a page, it is a good idea to store the search result / html source in a file to avoid exchausting your search quota and just wasting bandwidth and time,


Implement a system which can read html annotated according to the RDFa standard.
It makes sense to search adresses in several ways: googling, binging plus searching from known real estate portals.
The data read should be saved and printed in several formats:
* csv
* rdf xml syntax


You will have to either find suitable annotated html pages or annotate some existing pages yourself (at least three pages).  
Deadline: <b>16. March</b> (after this there will be a penalty).

You may also look at some practical non-obligatory programming suggestions in Estonian: [[rdfa esimese praksi soovitusi]].
The goal of the second lab is to write and use rules to categorize/tag addresses according to the data obtained during the first lab. An address should get a number of tags with numerical indicators showing our trust in that the tag really applies to the address, plus (sometimes) a number indicating the degree to which the tag applies.


=== Second lab ===


Using the results of first lab for rule-based derivation of new information.  
See [[details for KR lab 2]].


[[Details of the second lab: rule system]]
=== Third lab 2014 ===


=== Third lab ===
This lab is <b>optional</b> and will simply give as many points as lab 1 or 2 towards the final result and the grade: practical wotrk 60% and exam 40%.


This lab is obligatory only for the ITX8075 students obtaining 5 AP from the course! You can do it alone or together with another student: pairs are OK, three or more persons not. Both students must be present while presenting the result.
The goal of the lab is to use [http://wordnet.princeton.edu/ wordnet] or [http://www.cl.ut.ee/ressursid/teksaurus/ teksaurus] to create an additional ruleset and to use that
in addition to your own rules in lab 2.


The lab depends on your background. Concretely, choose the first case which applies to you:
=== Lab ideas ===


* You are studying in the IT department and have never programmed a turn-based two-player thinking game. In this case you should program the five-in-a-row game as explained in [[Praktikumitöö: mõtlemismäng 2005]]. This option is also allowed - but not obligatory - for non-IT students who have never programmed a two-player thinking game before.
* [[KR lab idea by Priit Järv]]
* You are studying in the IT department and have programmed a turn-based two-player thinking game. In this case you should experiment with the [http://attempto.ifi.uzh.ch/site/ Attempto system] in the following way:
**  Create a set of English sentences which covers the meaning of your rules from the second lab as closey as possible.
** Use the Attempto system to transform these sentences into a formal rule system.
** Write a program which would transform the sentences from the Attempto-given rule system into the form acceptable by Otter or Prover9.
* All the other cases: you will have to do a project from the similar [http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-034Spring-2005/CourseHome/index.htm MIT course]. Choose one of the following:
** http://ocw.mit.edu/NR/rdonlyres/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-034Spring-2005/8C027A7F-EDDC-4E01-BEEF-55C94287ED15/0/dp1.pdf

See details for KR lab 2.

Third lab 2014

This lab is optional and will simply give as many points as lab 1 or 2 towards the final result and the grade: practical wotrk 60% and exam 40%.

The goal of the lab is to use wordnet or teksaurus to create an additional ruleset and to use that in addition to your own rules in lab 2.

Lab ideas

Student ideas are also welcome: have to agree with Tanel first.

A cool idea is to investigate:

Lecture 2 (9 Feb) Programming and databases. SQL: meaning and representation of facts

Lecture materials:

Lecture 3 (16 Feb) HTML annotations. Microformats, microdata, RDFa

Two student presentations ca 30 min each:
