Question
Q9: Knowledge Representation - Consider the following statements:
1. All children have a favourite toy.
2. Whoever likes dolls or soft toys is a child.
3. Fuzzy is a soft toy: SOFT-TOY (Fuzzy).
4. Ellen likes Fuzzy: LIKES (Ellen, Fuzzy).
(a) Using only the following predicates CHILD(*), HAS-FAV-TOY(*), LIKES (*,*), DOLL(*) and SOFT-TOY(*), represent the two statements as predicate calculus well formed formulas (wffs).
Notes: The asterisks indicate the number of arguments in each predicate; keep your representation consistent with the predicates in statements 3 and 4 above.)
(b) Convert these statements into clauses.
(c) Use resolution refutation to prove that Ellen has a favourite toy. State the goal, and indicate clearly the number of the clause you are using, and any substitutions you make.
Goal 5: HAS-FAV-TOY(Ellen). Negated goal: ¬HAS-FAV-TOY(Ellen).
