Commonsense reasoning is the branch of Artificial intelligence concerned with replicating human thinking. There are several components to this problem, including:

  • Developing adequately broad and deep commonsense knowledge bases.
  • Developing reasoning methods that exhibit the features of human thinking, including the ability to:
    • reason with knowledge that is true by default
    • reason rapidly across a broad range of domains
    • tolerate uncertainty in your knowledge
    • take decisions under incomplete knowledge and perhaps revise that belief or decision when complete knowledge becomes available.
  • Developing new kinds of cognitive architectures that support multiple reasoning methods and representations.
