Prolog: Resolution, Unification, & Cuts CS 152: Programming Language Paradigms Prolog: Resolution, Unification, & Cuts Prof. Tom Austin San José State University References for Prolog • "Learn Prolog Now", http://www.learnprolognow.org • SWI-Prolog website (contains manual and tutorials), http://www.swi-prolog.org • "NLP with Prolog in the IBM Watson System", http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/ALP/2011/03/ natural-language-processing-with-prolog-in- the-ibm-watson-system/ Review: Facts likes(batman, gotham). likes(batman, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, revenge). Review: Queries & Variables What do Batman and Ra's al Ghul both like? X is a comma variable is "and" ?- likes(batman,X), likes(ras_al_ghul,X). How does Prolog resolve queries? Through 2 processes: • Resolution • Unification Resolution & Unification • Resolution: The process of matching facts & rules to perform inferencing – infer: derive logical conclusions from the rules. – If a subgoal matches the head of another rule, we can replace it with the body of the matching rule. • Unification: Instantiation of variables via pattern matching Query: likes(batman, X), likes(ras_al_ghul, X). Knowledge Base: likes(batman, gotham). likes(batman, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, revenge). Query: likes(batman, X), likes(ras_al_ghul, X). Finds match for first sub-query; Knowledge Base: sets a marker likes(batman, gotham). likes(batman, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, revenge). Query: likes(batman, gotham), likes(ras_al_ghul, gotham). Knowledge Base: likes(batman, gotham). X is bound likes(batman, justice). to gotham likes(ras_al_ghul, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, revenge). Query: likes(batman, gotham), likes(ras_al_ghul, No match found: gotham). fails and backtracks Knowledgeto marker Base: likes(batman, gotham). likes(batman, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, revenge). Query: likes(batman, X), likes(ras_al_ghul, X). Knowledge Base: Finds another match for first likes(batman, gotham). sub-query likes(batman, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, revenge). Query: likes(batman, justice), likes(ras_al_ghul, justice). Knowledge Base: X is bound to likes(batman, gotham). justice likes(batman, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, revenge). Query: likes(batman, justice), likes(ras_al_ghul, justice). Knowledge Base: likes(batman, gotham). Match found, and the result likes(batman, justice). is returned likes(ras_al_ghul, justice). likes(ras_al_ghul, revenge). villain(joker). More villain(penguin). facts: villain(catwoman). villain(scarecrow). kills_people(joker). kills_people(penguin). power(scarecrow, fear). romantic_interest(catwoman). romantic_interest(talia). Rules Queries scary(V) :- villain(V), "Head" of kills_people(V). the rule scary(V) :- villain(V), power(V,_). Who is scary? (in-class) Math in Prolog Arithmetic in Prolog heists(joker, 97). heists(penguin, 18). heists(catwoman, 31). heists(scarecrow, 42). combined_heists(X, Y, Total) :- heists(X,XN), heists(Y,YN), Total = XN + YN. ?- combined_heists(catwoman, scarecrow, T). T = 31+42. Using "is" operator combined_heists(X, Y, Total) :- heists(X,XN), heists(Y,YN), Total is XN + YN. ... ?- combined_heists(catwoman, scarecrow, T). T = 73. The Cut Operator "Learn Prolog Now" section 10.2 The Cut Operator Motivation: • Prolog may needlessly backtrack • We wish to stop the backtracking to optimize our code. max example (no cuts) max(X,Y,Y):- X =< Y. max(X,Y,X):- X > Y. Using max ?- max(2,3,M). M = 3 ; Why continue false. the search? ?- max(2,1,M). M = 2 ; false. Two types of cuts (!) • A green cut – improves performance or memory usage – Does not alter results • A red cut – controls resolution to prevent future matches – changes the results – is considered "bad form" max example (no cuts) max(X,Y,Y):- X =< Y. max(X,Y,X):- X > Y. If true, no need to keep searching max example, with green cut max(X,Y,Y):- X =< Y, !. max(X,Y,X):- X > Y. Red Cut Example Batman is enemies with all villains, unless the villain is also a romantic interest. Red Cut Example enemy(batman, X) :- romantic_interest(X), !, No backtracking once fail. we make it here. enemy(batman, X) :- villain(X). Red Cut Example bad_breakup(batman, talia). bad_breakup(batman, poison_ivy). enemy(batman, X) :- romantic_interest(X), !, bad_breakup(batman, X). enemy(batman, X) :- villain(X). Avoiding red cut bad_breakup(batman, talia). bad_breakup(batman, poison_ivy). enemy(batman, X) :- villain(X), \+ romantic_interest(X). enemy(batman, X) :- villain(X), bad_breakup(batman,X). Lab For the rest of the class, continue with the lab from last class. .

  • Batman2 Script
    BATMAN TRIUMPHANT by “The Guard” 2003 Batman created by Bob Kane 2. The WARNER BROTHERS logo appears onscreen. Ominous notes sound. The logo morphs into a Bat-Emblem. Dark skies fade in around it. Brilliant blue light emanates from the Bat-Emblem, blinding us. BATMAN TRIUMPHANT FADE IN GOTHAM CITY-DUSK An aerial view of Gotham. Ancient architecture has mixed with the new millennium. The result: architecture that combines stone cathedrals and shining towers of glass and steel. Hundreds of cars, taxis, and buses cruise along the streets below, and a siren echoes from somewhere. SUPER TEXT: GOTHAM CITY CUT TO: EXT. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF GOTHAM-DUSK A huge stone building set behind a large set of stone stairs. The bank building has a windowless exterior, with wide glass entrance doors. Several GOTHAMITES are going in and out. CUT TO: INT. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF GOTHAM About 20 Gothamites are waiting in line in front of old- fashioned, gated bank windows. We can hear Classical music in the background. CUT TO: EXT. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF GOTHAM-DUSK A black Hummer pulls to a perfect stop in front of the bank. Almost on cue, the doors open, and seven THUGS climb out of the Hummer. All of them wear black leather and ski masks. Two of them have submachine guns. 3. The other five have duffel bags and gas masks. The men turn as a back door on the vehicle starts to open. FADE TO: INT. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF GOTHAM The front doors burst open and the seven thugs enter.

    Queen’s National Model United Nations Conference Kingston, Ontario February 28th-March 2nd 2019 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Letter from the Director Hello delegates, My name is Brendan Nugara and I am the director for the Injustice League committee. This committee is inspired by the characters of DC comics, mainly the Assembly of Supervillains, commonly known as the Injustice League, but also as the Legion of Doom. I chose this committee due to my love for DC comics growing up and today, I’m definitely team DC over team Marvel. While this may be an unpopular opinion, I hope it doesn't sway your opinion of this committee. My goal for this committee is for you to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. If this is your first MUN experience, I hope this committee can inspire you to continue participating in MUN. If this isn’t your first rodeo, I hope for this to be a memorable experience that exceeds your expectations set by past conferences. All the best, Brendan Nugara 1 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Table of Contents Background Guide • Preface – 3 • The Justice League – 5 • The Injustice League – 5 • A message from Lex Luthor – 6 • Characters – 6 • Resources – 14 2 QUEEN’S NATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE Preface A breakdown of the Guide This guide consists of five parts. The first is this Preface, meant to give you an idea of the committee and what is expected from you as a delegate in this committee.

There is also the cheering and “Ooooh, Aaaah” of the audience. INT. - CIRCUS THE RINGMASTER is holding court in the middle of the three rings. He is looking up towards the acrobats. THE FLYING GRAYSONS have just finished their last leap and are standing on their platforms, waving to the audience. The audience is applauding wildly. RINGMASTER (speaking into his microphone) Yes, Metropolis! The Flying Graysons, always a showstopper! Let’s show them our love! RICHARD, the youngest Flying Grayson (and soon to become Robin), looks down in the audience and sees... TIM DRAKE, a young man of 8, is jumping up and down applauding. His parents are beside him, sitting in their seats and clapping. JACK DRAKE, Tim’s father, is trying to calm him down. JACK Tim, sit down please. TIM (shouting over the applause) Alright, Dick! Way to go! Dick’s father MR. GRAYSON is standing beside Richard (Dick) on the platform. He notices Tim jumping up and down. He glances over to Dick, who is waving at Tim. 2 MR. GRAYSON Who’s that? DICK Just some kid I met outside. Tim sits down in his seat and looks at Jack. TIM You think we can come back when the circus comes to Gotham? Jack looks at Tim, smiles, and runs his hand through Tim’s hair. The ringmaster prepares to introduce the next act. RINGMASTER And now, ladies and gentlemen! May I direct your attention to the center ring, as we… send in the clowns! Two clown cars come out from opposite wings and drive into the center ring.
