Re: neural networks being purported as KR?

Hi All, 

Of course deep neural networks may be seen as form of knowledge representation in my opinion, more precisely they are sub-symbolic or connectionist representations versus symbolic representations which are the standard in Semantic Web. 
Though it is not „latest KR”, but have been there for a long time under exactly the above name (sub-symbolic representations). 

Best Regards and cheers,
Agnieszka

I would argue that NN is a mathematical model that compiles previous data representing cause/consequences, so it's the same type of knowledge as, say, a logarithm table, versus the type of knowledge the infinte sum formula for evaluating logarithms would represent.
