Knowledge Infusion

The question of how machines can be endowed with the ability to acquire and robustly manipulate commonsense knowledge is a fundamental scientific problem. Here we formulate an approach to this problem that we call knowledge infusion. We argue that robust logic offers an appropriate semantics for this endeavor because it supports provably efficient algorithms for a basic set of necessary learnin...

Knowledge Infusion: In Pursuit of Robustness in Artificial Intelligence

Endowing computers with the ability to apply commonsense knowledge with humanlevel performance is a primary challenge for computer science, comparable in importance to past great challenges in other fields of science such as the sequencing of the human genome. The right approach to this problem is still under debate. Here we shall discuss and attempt to justify one approach, that of knowledge i...

A First Experimental Demonstration of Massive Knowledge Infusion

A central goal of Artificial Intelligence is to create systems that embody commonsense knowledge in a reliable enough form that it can be used for reasoning in novel situations. Knowledge Infusion is an approach to this problem in which the commonsense knowledge is acquired by learning. In this paper we report on experiments on a corpus of a half million sentences of natural language text that ...

Intravenous insulin infusion in diabetic emergencies.

Continuous intravenous insulin and dextrose infusions were used in managing various diabetic emergencies. Standard and constant rates of insulin and dextrose infusion resulted in satisfactory control of blood glucose concentrations during labour, after major surgery, and in patients recovering from ketoacidosis (average insulin infusion rates 1, 2, and 3 U/h respectively). Higher infusion rates...
