The Breadth of Commonsense Knowledge

Commonsense knowledge that people easily understand is incredibly vast, and building a complete knowledge base of all this commonsense requires immense labor as it must be done manually, concept by concept. A major goal is for computers to understand enough basic concepts to enable learning from reading sources like the Internet, allowing them to autonomously add to their own knowledge bases over time.

The breadth of commonsense knowledge

The number of atomic facts that the average person knows is astronomical. Research
projects that attempt to build a complete knowledge base of commonsense
knowledge (e.g., Cyc) require enormous amounts of laborious ontological engineeringthey
must be built, by hand, one complicated concept at a time.[53] A major goal is to have the
computer understand enough concepts to be able to learn by reading from sources like the
Internet, and thus be able to add to its own ontology.
