چکیده
This paper presents an experiment of parallel knowledge base development by subject matter experts, performed as part of the DARPA’s Rapid Knowledge Formation Program. It introduces the Disciple-RKF development environment used in this experiment and proposes design guidelines for systems that support authoring of problem solving knowledge by subject matter experts. Finally, it compares Disciple-RKF with the other development environments from the same DARPA program, providing further support for the proposed guidelines.

Rapid development of large knowledge bases
* 0-7803-7952-7/03/$17.00 © 2003 IEEE. Abstract This paper presents the Disciple-RKF methodology for rapid development of large knowledge bases which relies on importing ontological knowledge from existing knowledge repositories, on parallel development of separate knowledge bases by subject matter experts, and on the merging of these knowledge bases into a high performance integrated knowledge...
متن کاملA Mixed-Initiative Approach to Rule Refinement for Knowledge-Based Agents
This paper presents a mixed-initiative approach to rule refinement in which a subject matter expert collaborates with a learning agent to refine the agent’s knowledge base. This approach is implemented in the Disciple learning agent shell and has been evaluated in several agent training experiments performed by subject matter experts at the US Army War College.
متن کاملAn 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 کاملExperimental Evaluation of Subject Matter Expert-oriented Knowledge Base Authoring Tools
We describe a large-scale experiment in which non-artificial intelligence subject matter experts (SMEs)—with neither artificial intelligence background nor extensive training in the task—author knowledge bases (KBs) following a challenge problem specification with a strong question-answering component. As a reference for comparison, professional knowledge engineers (KEs) author KBs following th...
متن کاملKnowledge-Acquisition Interfaces for Domain Experts: An Empirical Evaluation of Protégé-2000
Application experts need to be able to maintain, populate, and verify existing knowledge bases in order to use knowledge-based tools to perform their daily tasks. Protégé-2000 is a tool that enables experts to perform the knowledge-acquisition and maintenance process. In this paper, we describe a controlled study that we performed to measure both the efficiency and quality of knowledge acquisit...
