Knowledge compilation

Knowledge compilation is a family of approaches for addressing the intractability of a number of artificial intelligence problems.

A propositional model is compiled in an off-line phase in order to support some queries in polynomial time. Many ways of compiling a propositional models exist.[1]

Different compiled representations have different properties. The three main properties are:

  • The compactness of the representation
  • The queries that are supported in polynomial time
  • The transformations of the representations that can be performed in polynomial time

Classes of representations

Some examples of diagram classes include OBDDs, FBDDs, and non-deterministic OBDDs, as well as MDD.

Some examples of formula classes include DNF and CNF.

Examples of circuit classes include NNF, DNNF, d-DNNF, and SDD.
