Frame representation is a way of organizing knowledge in artificial intelligence and cognitive science. It uses structures called "frames" to represent stereotypical situations, which include various attributes and values. Each frame can contain slots for information, such as objects, actions, and events, allowing for a clear understanding of the context. Frames help systems process information by providing a framework for interpreting new data based on existing knowledge. For example, a frame for a restaurant might include slots for menu items, staff roles, and customer behavior. This structured approach aids in reasoning and decision-making in complex scenarios.
