Knowledge acquisition in the small: building knowledge-acquisition tools from pieces

Building Clinical Trust in Automated Knowledge Acquisition

The aim of this chapter is to describe the process of medical knowledge acquisition from a historical context and to define the requirements for producing knowledge which is able to be trusted and applied in a clinical setting. This is related to modern data mining approaches which do not yet adequately address these requirements. This is believed to be the most critical issue in the acceptance...

A Multiple-Method Knowledge-Acquisition Shell for the Automatic Generation of Knowledge-Acquisition Tools

The use of predefined models of problem-solving methods is receiving considerable attention from researchers in the area of knowledge acquisition. Using these models, developers of knowledge-acquisition tools are able to prescribe the roles in which knowledge is used in completing a given task. A number of method-oriented architectures based on a single problem-solving method have been develope...

Technology Transfer Using Automated Knowledge- Acquisition Tools

Building Characters: A Form of Knowledge Acquisition

While computer games have become more sophisticated, most computer characters follow a limited static script in their interaction with the user. We advocate a knowledge acquisition approach to building characters and use modelbased classification techniques as our learning mechanism. Model-based classifiers can be readily integrated with existing rule-based approaches for building computer char...

Knowledge Acquisition Tools for Intelligent Tutoring Systems

The EDULAN project focuses in the field of Computer Assisted Learning and aims to generalize and translate to web-oriented technologies some results obtained previously on the Intelligent Tutoring Systems area. Particularly, four complementary research lines are being considered: knowledge acquisition tools for building Intelligent Tutoring Systems; adaptative and Web-oriented teaching/learning...
