Abstract

PARKA is a frame-based knowledge representation system implemented on the Connection Machine. The system, which provides extremely fast property inheritance inference capabilities, performs fast "recognition" queries of the form "find all frames satisfying m property constraints " in O(d+m) time-proportional only to the depth of the knowledge base (KB), and independent of its size. PARKA's performance is measured in tenths of a second, even for KBs with 100,000+ frames. We show similar results on the Cyc KB, and for queries involving knowledge structure pattern matching in support of case-based planning. With such run-time performance, PARKA is possibly the "fastest knowledge representation system in the world".
