19、Frame: a knowledge representation technique which attempts to organize concepts into a form which exploits interrelatioships and common beliefspframe-based KR is analogous to object-oriented programming; the difference is the entities encodedpA frame is similar to a record data structure or database

(1)pBecause real-world events

27、 do follow stereotyped patterns. Human beings use previous experiences to understand verbal accounts; computers can use scripts instead.pBecause people, when relating events, do leave large amounts of assumed detail out of their accounts. People dont find it easy to converse with a system that cant
