Legal knowledge elicitation: from textual databases to expert systems

چکیده
In this paper we intend to present the problems we encounter because of the textual nature of the knowledge in building an expert system for juridical advices on Québec Housing Law. During the knowledge engineering process, we propose to take into consideration both the very textual aspects (morphology, syntax, specific discursivity legal for instance) of the material and the reader's expertise, the jurist for instance. Some simple methodological steps of textual data analysis by computer could help us solve our problem of satisfactory knowledge elicitation.

متن کاملA Case Study in Knowledge Discovery and Elicitation in an Intelligent Tutoring Application
Most successful Bayesian network (BN) ap plications to date have been built through knowledge elicitation from experts. This is difficult and time consuming, which has lead to recent interest in automated methods for learning BNs from data. We present a case study in the construction of a BN in an intel ligent tutoring application, specifically dec imal misconceptions. We describe the BN con...
