 #### Definition description
 
-Definitions have procedural representation aiming to explain behaviors. Each definition is general. It can be a word or a phrase that represent a broad category or concept rather than a specific instance or entity. For instance, *car*, *list*, *human*, *country* represent *general terms*. *My car*, *your todo list*, *Albert Einstein*, *Poland* are singular instances of these general terms or so called *singular terms*[6]. *DefinIT* does not examine *singular terms*. In an analogy to object oriented programming, *DefinIT* examine definitions or classes, but not instances.

+# Knowledge representation for efficient learning and communication

+- Author: Jan Bielecki
+- Event: Warsaw Python Pizza

+
+# Gamification of a learning process
+
+- Its fun to create games.
+- Its fulfilling to make something useful.
+- Duolingo as an example of gamification in learning.
+
+# Different learning platforms
+
+- Codecademy
+- Leetcode
+- Brilliant
+- Coursera
+- edX
+- Khan Academy
+- Udacity
+
+- Some of the platforms have a gamification element to enhance the learning experience.
+
+# Let's create the universal platform!
+
+- standards.png
+
+# Basic building block of a knowledge representation
+
+- What is the smallest unit of knowledge that can be checked as "learned" and we can move forward to the next one?
+
+# First principles thinking
+
+- Divide and conquer.
+
+# Definition as the smallest unit of knowledge
+
+- Examples of definitions.
+- Literature overview.
+-- "First Glossary of Programming Terminology"
+-- "IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology"
+-- UML, Internet, Wikipedia ...
+
+# Definition properties
+
+- Key (definition name, field Why? Two same names can exist in different fields.)
+- Value (content, dependencies: definitions can rely on other definitions)
+
+# Structure of definitions
+
+- DAG.
+
+# Using Python as a platform for creating and managing knowledge representations
+
+- Strict format for definitions
+- Github Copilot helps with the content creation.
+- Tests, visualizations.
+- Serializers.

+# POC - Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA)

+
+# Why it exists?
+
+- Efficient learning - by breaking down complex topics into smaller, manageable units.
+- DAG structure implies where to start.
+-- from the low-level definitions.
+-- from the set of descendant definitions of a given definition.
+- A living, qualitative and structured glossary for any field of knowledge.
+- Improved quality and clarity of training data for machine learning models.
+
+# What is wrong with such approach?
+
+- A lot of effort to create a qualitative knowledge representation.
+- Who decides a definition content and dependencies?
+- DAG structure is an assumption that all knowledge can be represented in a hierarchical manner.
+- "Brain rot" content is more addictive then a well-structured knowledge representation.
+- "In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is."~Benjamin Brewster
+-- The brain learns most effectively through active, deliberate practice, and a static knowledge representation may not provide the necessary engagement and feedback for optimal learning.
+
+# What's next?
+
+- Explore more high-level concepts (uv, compilation, architecture).
+- Creating a more engaging learning experience (questions, active and deliberate practice, tasks).
