Origins and Historical Development
Early roots Evolution

S emantic networks emerged in the 1960s as a way to These networks have evolved significantly over the years,
model human knowledge representation. finding application in various fields.
Core Components: Nodes,
Edges, and Relations

1 Nodes represent concepts, 2 E dges link nodes,


objects, or entities. indicating a specific
relationship.

3 R elations define the type of connection between nodes, like 'is -


a' or 'has-a'.
Types of Semantic Networks
and Their Applications
Taxonomic networks Associative networks
Represent hierarchical Capture connections based
relationships, like species on relatedness, like synonyms
genera. synonyms or antonyms.

Conceptual graphs
Use a formal language for representing knowledge, suitable for AI
applications.
Semantic Network Construction and Visualization
Tools

Software tools provide a visual interface for building and Programming languages allow programmatic creation and
exploring networks. analysis of networks.
Reasoning and Inference in
Semantic Networks

1 Inference rules guide the derivation of new information


from existing connections.

2 Logical reasoning allows semantic networks to draw


conclusions and make predictions.
Real-world Applications in AI
and Knowledge Management

Knowledge representation: Organizing and structuring


information in a meaningful way.

Natural language processing: Understanding and


processing human language.

Machine learning: Training AI models to identify patterns


and relationships.
