Acquiring Procedural Knowledge in EXPECT
نویسندگان
چکیده
The EXPECT project has focused on acquiring problemsolving knowledge for users for the last decade, using an expressive language that is open to inspection. Our aim has been to alleviate the bottleneck in creating knowledge-based systems by providing support for both knowledge engineers and end users to specify problem-solving knowledge. In this paper we summarize selected areas of current research where we focus on end users, and highlight some of the research questions that arise from them. We also summarize some of the results from experiments with end users using our tools.

متن کاملAutomatic Acquisition of Knowledge for Constraint-based Tutors
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) assist students in learning by adaptively providing pedagogical assistance. Numerous empirical studies have shown that students learn more effectively by interacting with ITSs in comparison to traditional classroom based teaching [1, 2]. Although ITSs are highly regarded as effective tools for education, developing an ITS is a time and labour intensive task re...
