● Efficiency
Models and Motivation
● Diagrammatic Representations
○ Visualization/Infographics
○ Mind maps
○ Conceptual Models
● Computational Models
○ Mathematical Models - (mostly differential) equation driven
○ Statistical Models - data driven and with known properties
○ Machine Learning Models - data driven and with unknown properties
Information and its Retrieval
Information
= Data + Meaning
Knowledge
= Contextualized Information

Entity Relationship Model
WordNet
● hypernym: kind-of (canine is a hypernym of dog)
● hyponym: kind-of (dog is a hyponym of canine)
● holonym: part-of (building is a holonym of window)
● meronym: part-of (window is a meronym of building)
● coordinate term: (wolf is a coordinate term of dog, and dog is a coordinate term of wolf)
● troponym: verbal part-of (to lisp is a troponym of to talk)
● entailment: follows (to sleep is entailed by to snore)
Knowledge Representation
● Documents (files, html, pdf)
● Databases (tables, json, xml)
● Logical assertions (e.g: Prolog)
● Knowledge Graph (e.g: DBpedia, OpenCyc)
