Automatic Knowledge Acquisition from Subject Matter Experts

چکیده
This paper presents current results in developing a practical approach, methodology and tool, for the development of knowledge bases and agents by subject matter experts, with limited assistance from knowledge engineers. This approach is based on mixed-initiative reasoning that integrates the complementary knowledge and reasoning styles of a subject matter expert and a learning agent, and on a division of responsibilities for those elements of knowledge engineering for which they have the most aptitude. The approach was evaluated at the US Army War College, demonstrating very good results and a high potential for overcoming the knowledge acquisition bottleneck.

An experiment in agent teaching by subject matter experts
This paper presents a successful knowledge acquisition experiment in which subject matter experts that did not have any prior knowledge engineering experience succeeded to teach the Disciple-COA agent how to critique courses of action, a challenge problem addressed by the DARPA’s High Performance Knowledge Bases program. We first present the COA challenge problem and the architecture of Discipl...
متن کاملImproving Agent Learning through Rule Analysis
This paper addresses the problem of improving the process by which an agent learns problem solving rules from a subject matter expert. It presents two complementary rule analysis methods that discover when a rule was learned from incomplete explanations of an example, guiding the expert to provide additional explanations. One method performs a structural analysis of the learned rule, while the ...

Computer aided modeling of the decision making processes requires the availability of a system, enabling to gather the knowledge of numerous experts. That is why the subject matter concerns first the simulation of the decision making processes, as well as the methods and procedures of knowledge acquisition from the above experts.
متن کاملKnowledge Acquisition for Life Counseling
In this paper, we explain how highly unstructured domain knowledge can be acquired and integrated in a case-based reasoning system. We apply our approach to the life counseling domain. We introduce the two steps of our knowledge acquisition approach in such unstructured domains. The first step is manual and relies on domain experts. The second step is automatic and uses information extraction t...
متن کاملOntologies and the Knowledge Acquisition Bottleneck
Ontologies and information sharing have a major role to play in the development of knowledge-based agents and the overcome of the knowledge acquisition bottleneck. This paper supports this claim by presenting an approach to ontology specification, import, and development that is part of Disciple-RKF. Disciple-RKF is a theory, methodology, and learning agent shell for the rapid development of kn...
