A Stereotype-Based Model of Reasoning
I. S. Sysoev , e-mail: jsysoev@yandex.ru

The article presents a conceptual approach to representing Common-Sense Knowledge that supposedly allows to simplify this task. The approach is based on a symbolic model of mental images of prototypical situations. The key feature of the approach is its orientation towards pragmatics of knowledge. By means of this, precise definition of notions' semantics is not necessary within the approach. An informal description of the concept and a simple compu-tational model implementing the approach are presented.

Keywords: knowledge representation, common-sense knowledge, mental image, stereotype
