Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this lecture, the goal is to gain expertise in the basics of Knowledge Engineering. Therefore, students explore the relevant theory and reinforce their knowledge in exercises where approaches for knowledge representation and processing are employed. Topics like propositional logic, first-order logic, rule-based systems, and fuzzy logic are covered in this lecture.

Changes to lectures and exams (on-site or online) may be necessary at short notice.

Assessment and permitted materials

The aim of the course is to learn, understand, and apply the logical foundations of Knowledge Engineering.

Twice during the semester, a written test has to be passed. The tests will contain theory questions and applied problems. The material to be examined is covered in the lecture, including dedicated exercise sessions. During the tests, unauthorized materials or communication with colleagues is not allowed. If unauthorized aids are used or the examination is not written independently, the examination will not be assessed and documented with an X in the collective report. Within the assessment period of four weeks, the examiner may request random oral inquiries about the subject matter of the examination. The language of the examination is English, and the exam time is 60 minutes for the first written test and 80 minutes for the second one.

During the semester, a group assignment regarding individual topics has to be submitted.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In detail, the grade is constituted by:
* Written tests - 30 % (first test) + 40 % (second test)
* Group exercise (scientific research paper) - 30%
Overall at least 50% of points need to be achieved.

The grade is calculated from the total points as follows:
>= 87% very good (1)
>= 75% good (2)
>= 62% satisfactory (3)
>= 50% sufficient (4)
< 50% not sufficient (5)

Missing class more than three times results in a negative grade.
