Codifying expert domain knowledge is a difficult and expensive task. To evaluate the quality of the outcome, often the same domain expert or a colleague of similar expertise is relied on to undertake a direct evaluation of the knowledge-based system or indirectly by preparing appropriate test data. During an incremental knowledge acquisition process, a data stream is available, and the knowledge base is observed and amended by an expert each time it produces an error. Using the kept record of the system’s performance, we propose an evaluation process to estimate its effectiveness as it gets evolved. We instantiate this process for an incremental knowledge acquisition methodology, Ripple Down Rules. We estimate the added value in each knowledge base update. Using these values, the decision makers in the organisation employing the knowledge-based information system can apply a cost-benefit analysis of the continuation of the incremental knowledge acquisition process. They can then determine when this process, involving keeping an expert online, should be terminated. As a result, the expert is not kept on-line longer than it is absolutely necessary. Hence, a major expense in deploying the information system—the cost of keeping a domain expert on-line—is reduced.  相似文献

Abstract

This paper presents an enhancement of the CARESS system—A Constraint Approximative Reasoning System Support—introduced in (Popescu and Roventa, 1994). CARESS is an experimental system with primarily two objectives:

(1)knowledge representation and manipulation techniques and to implement them in PROLOG III, and

(2) to develop a knowledge programming environment for building expert systems. We discuss here the use of meta-programming, constraint logic programming and approximate reasoning for the design of expert systems

It has already been proven that meta-programming and logic programming are powerful techniques for expert system design. Fuzzy logic can be used to model one kind of uncertainty. Constraint logic programming is useful for dealing with the constraints given by operations using fuzzy sets.  相似文献

The implementation of a PC-based expert system rules-to-neural network translator is described. Knowledge expressed as rules is translated to a neural network representation. The generated structure simulates a neural network which is able to perform as the original expert system—conclusions are drawn from user-supplied facts based on the inherent knowledge.  相似文献

Most of the research in the area of performance evaluation of rule‐based expert systems (RBESs) is focused on verification and validation issues. Many researchers discuss usability, usefulness, portability, and response time for the evolution of RBES. The final goal of all such studies is to construct a system with optimal, accurate knowledge base. Arguably, a system with best knowledge base is actually worthless if it is never utilized in the real world. We have proposed “benefit” as a measure of evaluation and suggested some guidelines for performance evaluation of RBESs. The proposed measure has been demonstrated for performance evaluation of an RBES applied in the medical billing domain. Results showed that the system has saved hundreds of working hours during the evaluation period of 3 months. Moreover, other associated measures have also been considered. Associated measures in the medical billing domain are “claim rejection rate”—reduced by 54%—and “claim aging,” which has decreased from 34 to 28 days due to the RBES. Guidelines proposed by this research can be applied for the evaluation of expert systems implemented in other application domains, including in the first place business decision support systems.  相似文献

The paper presents a consultative rule-based expert system for finite element mesh design. The aim of the expert system presented is to propose the appropriate type of the finite elements and determine the resolution values for the finite element mesh to be used for the analysis. The extensive knowledge base, comprising about 1900 rules, was built mainly by the use of machine learning (ML) techniques. Several examples will confirm that an expert system shell written in Prolog enables efficient use of the knowledge base and adequate communication between the system and the user. The system has the ability to explain the inference process. Thus, it can also be used as a teaching tool for inexperienced users—students. The results of the experimental use of the system are encouraging and can be used as guidelines for further developments and improvements of the system.  相似文献

The gas path analysis is a useful tool for modeling jet engines and stationary gas turbines, respectively. Such models are used for diagnosis that means that measurement values as inputs deliver state variables as outputs from the model. The measurement values are not fault free. They are disturbed by noise and by systematic sensor errors. Therefore algorithms have to be implemented which filter and compensate these errors; furthermore the modeling is not exact. Thereby the algorithms must be extended and adapted to this case. In alternation to the model based procedures the diagnosis problem can also be solved by knowledge based methods using an expert system. Such an expert system is developed and presented in this paper. It is an efficient tool — also in connection with the model based procedures — for detecting faults in the states of the engine and faults in the sensors as well. The diagnosis software package is applied on military and civilian jet engines and it is used in power plants for stationary gas turbines.  相似文献

It is shown how algebraic structure theory — a tool developed in the last two decades to describe chemical engineering systems — fits into the conceptual framework of hypergraph theory. A new type of structure — actually a special hereditary hypergraph — is introduced in order to lay the foundations for knowledge representation in expert systems designed for chemical engineering problems. Sketchy algorithms are proposed to solve the problems. An existing expert system called FOREST which is applied in the Hungarian chemical industry is mentioned and it is shown how it has been built upon the theoretical basis outlined here. Several very simple mathematical examples are shown, and a real-life example including chemical reactions, mass and heat transport between not more than two phases are treated in detail in the Appendix. A large set of open problems in modelling, mathematics and computation are presented and possible further directions are outlined.  相似文献

Successful attempts to explain expertise in human beings, or to capture its properties in expert systems, will have to contend with issues of rationality and generalization. Rationality and generalization pose enough difficulties on a purely synchronic basis. But an account of expertise must be diachronic—it must account for the development of rationality and generalization, even in those who are already experts. We describe the obstacles in the path of standard approaches to rationality and generalization, and present an alternative, interactivist treatment of rationality and its development (space forbids us to do likewise for generalization). In the interactivist account, rationality cannot be defined in general as adherence to the rules of a system of formal logic; we propose instead that rationality be understood in terms of the development of negative knowledge—knowing what kinds of errors to avoid. We examine the development of negative knowledge using examples from the history of science, and consider the consequences of an orientation towards negative knowledge for classroom instruction as well as the development of expert systems.  相似文献

In this paper, we present the architecture and describe the functionality of an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), which uses an expert system to make decisions during the teaching process. The expert system uses neurules for knowledge representation of the pedagogical knowledge. Neurules are a type of hybrid rules integrating symbolic rules with neurocomputing. The expert system consists of three components: the user modelling unit, the pedagogical unit and the inference system. The pedagogical knowledge is distributed in a number of neurule bases within the user modelling and the pedagogical unit. Another important component of the ITS, for both its development and maintenance, is its knowledge management unit, which provides knowledge acquisition and knowledge update capabilities to the system, that is, offers expert knowledge authoring capabilities to the system.  相似文献

Convergence of technologies in the Internet and the field of expert systems have offered new ways of sharing and distributing knowledge. However, there has been a general lack of research in the area of web-based expert systems (ES). This paper addresses the issues associated with the design, development, and use of web-based ES from a standpoint of the benefits and challenges of developing and using them. The original theory and concepts in conventional ES were reviewed and a knowledge engineering framework for developing them was revisited. The study considered three web-based ES: WITS-advisor — for e-business strategy development, Fish-Expert — for fish disease diagnosis, and IMIS — to promote intelligent interviews. The benefits and challenges in developing and using ES are discussed by comparing them with traditional standalone systems from development and application perspectives.  相似文献

The most popular area of Artificial Intelligence application today is in expert systems. This paper contains a discussion of expert systems, otherwise known as knowledge-based systems and knowledge systems. The principal components of an expert system, and the evolution of expert systems are presented. The suitability of a task to an expert system is proposed. When a task is suitable for an expert system application, the system must be developed by a knowledge engineer. The methodology that the knowledge engineer must go through to develop an expert system is demostrated. Industrial engineers have formal training in many areas which can be useful when assumming the role of knowledge engineer. These areas of industrial engineering and how they are beneficial is discussed. What the future may hold in store is also pondered.  相似文献

This paper presents an expert system as a decision support tool to optimize natural gas pipeline operations. A natural gas pipeline control system is a controlling system that involves many complicated operating processes. Since a dispatcher (who operates the system) might not be able to handle all of his or her tasks consistently, an expert system has been developed for optimizing the operations by providing consistent, fast and reliable decision support to the dispatcher. Consequently, inconsistency in the dispatcher's performance can be minimized. To build an expert system, the knowledge from an experienced dispatcher, who is familiar with the process in this controlling system is acquired and that knowledge has been implemented as rules in the knowledge base of the expert system. When this expert system has been validated by gas pipeline experts, it can help inexperienced dispatchers to operate the processes more effectively. The expert system is implemented on the real-time expert system shell G2 (trademark of Gensym Corp. of USA). The system also consists of a user interface that helps dispatchers visualize system conditions.  相似文献

Expert systems are built from knowledge traditionally elicited from the human expert. It is precisely knowledge elicitation from the expert that is the bottleneck in expert system construction. On the other hand, a data mining system, which automatically extracts knowledge, needs expert guidance on the successive decisions to be made in each of the system phases. In this context, expert knowledge and data mining discovered knowledge can cooperate, maximizing their individual capabilities: data mining discovered knowledge can be used as a complementary source of knowledge for the expert system, whereas expert knowledge can be used to guide the data mining process. This article summarizes different examples of systems where there is cooperation between expert knowledge and data mining discovered knowledge and reports our experience of such cooperation gathered from a medical diagnosis project called Intelligent Interpretation of Isokinetics Data, which we developed. From that experience, a series of lessons were learned throughout project development. Some of these lessons are generally applicable and others pertain exclusively to certain project types.  相似文献
