Biography
Porter's research addresses the grand challenge in Artificial Intelligence of building knowledge bases containing the accumulated understanding of entire fields of human inquiry, such as cell biology or global warming. These knowledge bases are quite unlike digital libraries, in which knowledge is represented as text and computers can do little more than recite information to people. In contrast, they use machine-sensible representations appropriate for automated reasoning and explanation generation. Porter's recent projects focus on knowledge representation, automated reasoning and knowledge acquisition.
