MACK: A Tool for Acquiring Consistent Knowledge Under Uncertainty
نویسنده
چکیده
We develop a new methodology and tool for knowledge acquisition under uncertainty. A new knowledge representation called Bayesian Knowledge Bases provides a powerful key to our approach and is well-grounded in probability theory. In this paper, we demonstrate the ease and flexibility with which knowledge acquisition can be accomplished while ensuring the consistency of the knowledge base as data is both acquired and subsequently maintained. We present the MACK tool and apply it to NASA’s Post-Test Diagnostics System which locates anomalies aboard the Space Shuttles’ Main Engines.

System Uncertainty Based Data-Driven Knowledge Acquisition
In the three-layered framework for knowledge discovery, it is necessary for technique layer to develop some data-driven algorithms, whose knowledge acquiring process is characterized by and hence advantageous for the unnecessity of prior domain knowledge or external information. System uncertainty is able to conduct data-driven knowledge acquiring process. It is crucial for such a knowledge acq...
متن کاملA novel risk-based analysis for the production system under epistemic uncertainty
Risk analysis of production system, while the actual and appropriate data is not available, will cause wrong system parameters prediction and wrong decision making. In uncertainty condition, there are no appropriate measures for decision making. In epistemic uncertainty, we are confronted by the lack of data. Therefore, in calculating the system risk, we encounter vagueness that we have to use ...
متن کاملOptimal Cropping Pattern Modifications with the Aim of Environmental-Economic Decision Making Under Uncertainty
Sustainability in agricultural is determined by aspects like economy, society and environment. Multi-objective programming (MOP) model has been a widely used tool for studying and analyzing the sustainability of agricultural system. However, optimization models in most applications are forced to use data which is uncertain. Recently, robust optimization has been used as an optimization model th...
متن کاملAn Assessment Method for Project Cash Flow under Interval-Valued Fuzzy Environment
Effective project management requires reliable knowledge of cash required in different stages of project life cycle. Getting this knowledge is highly dependent on sophisticated consideration of project environment. Nature of projects and their environments are associated with uncertain conditions. In this paper, a new project cash flow assessment method based on project scheduling is proposed t...
متن کاملModified Munich Chain-Ladder Method
The Munich chain-ladder method for claims reserving was introduced by Quarg and Mack on an axiomatic basis. We analyze these axioms, and we define a modified Munich chain-ladder method which is based on an explicit stochastic model. This stochastic model then allows us to consider claims prediction and prediction uncertainty for the Munich chain-ladder method in a consistent way.
