Knowledge acquisition remains one of the primary constraints on the development of expert systems. A number of researchers have explored methods for allowing a machine learning system to assist a knowledge engineer in knowledge acquisition. In contrast, we are exploring methods for enabling an expert to directly interact with a machine learning system to collaborate during knowledge acquisition...

Expert systems development is a complex and expensive process that needs to be applied in an organized manner. Building expert systems has been seen as a modeling activity. The aim of this research is to present an approach for building generic diagnosis model in the agricultural domain. This generic model has the ability to derive diagnoses for differently structured individual systems from th...

Our interest in causality reasoning in physics was enhanced by the need to formalize reasoning in physics. In medicine, geophysics, and in many other applications areas, expert systems use automated expert reasoning to help the users; see, e.g., (2). We expect that similar systems may be helpful in general theoretical physics as well. To design such systems, we must formalize physicists’ reason...

Category 1 – General Domain This is a system in the geology domain. Main General Function PROSPECTOR is an expert system designed for decision-making problems in mineral exploration. It aids geologists in evaluating the favorability of an exploration site or region for occurrences of ore deposits of particular types. Once a site has been identified, PROSPECTOR can also be used for drilling-site...

today, expert systems are widely applied in medicine for prognosis, diagnosis, checkup, and treatment of various kinds of diseases. a comprehensive system for the checkup and treatment of different types of diabetes is still lacking. this paper reports development of such a system, its validation, and its utility in facilitating medical decision-making and supporting self-care.

gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is a kind of diabetes that requires persistent medical care in patient self management education to prevent acute complications. one of the common and main problems in diagnosis of the diabetes is the weakness in its initial stages of the illness. this paper intends to propose an expert system in order to diagnose the risk of gdm by using fis model. the knowl...

Expert discovery is a quest in search of finding an answer to a question: “Who is the best expert of a specific subject in a particular domain within peculiar array of parameters?” Expert with domain knowledge in any field is crucial for consulting in industry, academia and scientific community. Aim of this study is to address the issues for expert-finding task in real-world community. Collabor...
