Questions and Answers

What is a primary limitation of expert systems when confronted with novel scenarios?

  • Reliance on pre-defined rules hinders the application of common-sense reasoning. (correct)
  • The inability to generate new knowledge beyond the existing knowledge base.
  • Expert systems require constant human supervision during operation.
  • Expert systems struggle to process numeric data efficiently.

What is a key initial step in developing a computer-based expert system?

  • Designing the user interface for ease of interaction.
  • Conducting market research to determine user needs.
  • Interviewing human experts to extract their knowledge. (correct)
  • Writing code to simulate human decision-making processes.

Why do expert systems need to translate concepts into symbols?

Flashcards

Limitation of Expert Systems

Expert systems struggle with novel situations because they predominantly rely on predefined rules and lack common sense reasoning.

Expert System Development

The process involves interviewing experts, translating their knowledge into a knowledge base, and using this base to answer user queries.

Role of Knowledge Engineers

Knowledge engineers transfer human expertise into a structured, computer-understandable format for expert systems.

How Expert Systems Advise

Expert systems analyze user inputs, match them against a knowledge base, and provide recommendations based on pre-defined rules.

Study Notes

  • Expert systems are limited in their ability to apply common sense to unique situations because they rely on pre-programmed rules.
  • Expert systems function in constrained environments.
  • Expert systems must convert concepts into symbols for processing.
  • Knowledge engineers interview human experts to gather information for expert system development.
  • The engineers and programmers translate the human expertise into a knowledge base.
  • A user can query the expert system for recommendations once the knowledge base is established.
  • The expert system will ask a series of questions to the user.
  • The expert system then provides a recommendation, such as the ideal distribution route and estimated cost.
