  1. Chapter 3Knowledge Acquisition知識擷取

  2. 3.1 INTRODUCTION • The goal of knowledge acquisition(知識擷取) is to elicit expertise(專業知識) from domain experts(領域專家). Expertise Transfer Knowledge base Computerized Representation Expert G.J. Hwang

  3. Advantages of Employing Knowledge Acquisition(知識擷取) Systems: • They does not only depend on the training cases(訓練範例). • Real-time analysis is possible. • Real-time consistency checking is possible. • They can be integrated with KE tools. • Knowledge bases(知識庫) can be automatically generated. G.J. Hwang

  4. REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS WORKS Substantive Knowledge: To identify current state “Am I in danger of being attacked” Strategic Knowledge: To determine what to do next “Climb to 30000 feet” G.J. Hwang

  6. The Acquisition of Substantive Knowledge • Repertory Grid(知識表格)-Oriented Methods: Step 1. Elicit elements to be classified. Step 2. Elicit constructs from experts. Each time three elements are selected. The expert is asked to give a construct to distinguish one element from the other two. Step 3. Rate the grid by filling a rating (1-5) to each entry. Step 4. Generate implication graph. G.J. Hwang

  7. Step 1:Elicit elements from experts. Step 2:Elicit constructs from experts. G.J. Hwang

  8. Step 3:Rate each entry of the grid. Step 4:Generate the implication graph. headache red purple high fever G.J. Hwang

  9. Rules generated from the grid: First column: IF high_fever and red and purple and (not headache) Then Disease = Measles CF = MIN (0.8,1.0,0.8,0.8) = 0.8 Second column: IF (not high_fever) and (not red) and (not purple) and (not headache) Then Disease = German Measles G.J. Hwang

  10. Advantages of applying repertory-grids(知識表格) Easy to analyze the elicited knowledge: • Similarity analysis of constructs. • Similarity analysis of elements. • Analysis of the relationships among constructs. • Detection of missed elements. • Detection of logical errors. G.J. Hwang

  11. 3.2 ELICTATION OF SUBSTANTIVE KNOWLEDGE • Knowledge Representation(知識表示法) A dog has 4 legs being very sure G.J. Hwang

  12. An acquisition table is a repertory grid(知識表格) of multiple data types: Boolean :true or false Single value:an integer, a real, or a symbol Set of value:a set of integers, real numbers or symbols. Range of values:a set of integers or real numbers. ‘X’:no relation. ‘U’:unknown or undecidable. • Ratings: 2:very likely to be. 1:maybe. G.J. Hwang

  13. 3.3 Some Problems of Repertory Grids (知識表格) • Problem of Element Selection G.J. Hwang

  14. Problem of Multi-Level Knowledge and Acquirability INPUT DATA INPUT DATA SUBGOAL SUBGOAL SUBGOAL INPUT DATA GOAL G.J. Hwang

  15. The Concept of Acquirability: The value of a terminalattribute of a decision tree must either be a constant or be acquirable from users.For example: IF (leaf-shape = scale) and (class = Gymnosperm) THEN family = Cypress. Class is not an acquirable attribute. G.J. Hwang

  16. ? ? Leaf Shape Class Family G.J. Hwang

  17. Domain basis and classification knowledge: Diseases Domain basis Other diseases Acute Exanthemas Classification knowledge Measles, German measles, Dangue fever,… G.J. Hwang

  18. Problem of Missing Embedded Meanings(隱含 知識) • When a diagnostician expresses the features of catch cold are headache, feel tired, cough, sneeze,…, he means “if a person catches cold, he may have those features” • We usually represent the expertise as the following rules: (Headache = yes) and (Feel_tired = yes) and (cough = yes) and …, --> Disease = Catch_cold G.J. Hwang

  19. The embedded meaning(隱含知識)of the diagnostician “if one or some features do not appear, it is still possible that the patient catches cold.” Is ignored. G.J. Hwang

  20. 3.4 EMCUD:A New Model for Eliciting • Knowledge Representation(知識表示法): Conventional Repertory grid(知識表格)or Acquisition Table + Attribute Ordering Table (屬性序列表格)(AOT) G.J. Hwang

  21. Eliciting embedded meanings(隱含知識) by constructing the Attribute Ordering Table(屬性序列表格) • Value in an AOT may be: ‘D’:The attribute dominate(主導權) the object. ‘X’:The attribute has no relation with the object. an integer:The attribute is of some degree of importance to the object.(A smaller integer means less important.) G.J. Hwang

  22. An example of Repertory Grid(知識表格): The rule generated from first column: RULE3: (13<A116)(A2=YES)  (A3=4.3) → GOAL = Obj3 Where F(confidence) = 1.0 if confidence = 2 = 0.8 if confidence = 1 and Certainty Factor CF = MIN(F(2),F(1), (F(2)) = 0.8 G.J. Hwang

  23. An example of constructing AOT. EMCUD:If A1 {9,10,12}, is it possible that GOAL =Obj1 ? EXPERT:No. /*This implies that A1 dominates Obj1 and AOT<Obj1,A1> = ‘D’ */ EMCUD:If A2  YES,is it possible that GOAL = Obj1? EXPERT:Yes. /*A2 does not dominate Obj1 */ EMCUD:If A1 > 16 or A1  13, is it possible that GOAL = Obj3? EXPERT:Yes. /* A1 does not dominate Obj3 */ EMCUD:If A2  YES, is it possible that GOAL = Obj3 ? EXPERT:Yes. /* A2 does not dominate Obj3 */ EMCUD:If A3  4.3 , is it possible that GOAL = Obj3 ? EXPERT:No. /* A3 does dominate Obj3 */ G.J. Hwang

  24. EMCUD:Please rank A1 and A2 in the order of importance to Obj3 by choosing one of the following expressions: 1)A1 is more important that A2 2)A1 is less important that A2 3)A1 is as important as A2 EXPERT:1 /* A1 is more important to Obj3 than A2, hence AOT < Obj3,A1> = 2 and AOT <Obj3,A2> = 1 */ G.J. Hwang

  25. Elicit Embedded Meanings(隱含知識) From RULE3, the following embedded rules(隱含規則) will Be generated by negating the predicates of A1 and A2: RULE3,1:NOT(13<A116)(A2=YES)  (A3=4.3)      → GOAL = Obj3 RULE3,2: (13<A116)NOT(A2=YES)  (A3=4.3)      → GOAL = Obj3 RULE3,3:NOT(13<A116)NOT(A2=YES)  (A3=4.3)      → GOAL = Obj3 G.J. Hwang

  26. Certainty Sequence(CS): Represents the drgree of certainty degradation. CS(RULESij) = SUM(AOT<Obji,Ak>) for each ak in the negated predicates of ruleij For example: CS(RULE3,3) = AOT < Obj3,A1 + AOT<Obj3,A2> = 2 + 1 = 3 The embedded rules(隱含規則)generated from RULE3: RULE3,1:NOT(13<A116)(A2=YES)  (A3=4.3)      → GOAL = Obj3 CS = 2 RULE3,2: (13<A116)NOT(A2=YES)  (A3=4.3)      → GOAL = Obj3CS = 1 RULE3,3:NOT(13<A116)NOT(A2=YES)  (A3=4.3)      → GOAL = Obj3CS = 3 G.J. Hwang

  27. Construct Constraint List • Sort the embedded rules according to the CS values: RULES3,2CS = 1 RULES3,1CS = 2 RULES3,3CS = 3 • A prune-and-search algorithm: EMCUD:Do you think RULE3,1 is acceptable? Expert:Yes. /* then RULE3,2 is also accepted*/ EMCUD:Do you think RULE3,3 is acceptable? Expert:No. /* then CS=3 is recorded in the constraint list */ G.J. Hwang

  28. Calculate Certainty Factors(確定因子) Confirm:1.0 Strongly support:0.8 Support:0.6 May support:0.4 CFij= Upper-Boundi- (Csij/MAX(Csi))  (Upper-Boundi – Lower-Boundi) MAX(Csi):maximum CS value of the embedded rules generated from RULEi. Upper-Boundi:certainty factor of embedded Lower-Boundi:certainty factor of embedded rule with MAX(Csi) /* The rule with least confidence*/ G.J. Hwang

  29. An example of calculating certainty factors(確定因子) For the embedded rules(隱含規則) from RULE3: 1. Upper – Bound = CF(RULE3) = 0.8 2. Since RULE3 is not accepted, the embedded rule with MAX(CS) is RULE3,1: EMCUD:If RULE3 strongly supports GOAL = Obj3 , what about RULE3,1 ? Expert:1. /*The Lower-Bound = 0.6*/ CF3,1 = 0.8 – (2/2) * (0.8 – 0.6) = 0.6 CF3,2 = 0.8 – (1/2) * (0.8 – 0.6) = 0.7 G.J. Hwang

  30. The process of eliciting embedded meanings(隱含知識): repertory grid original rules Attribute-Ordering Table eliciting embedded rules possible embedded rules Constraint List thresholding accepted embedded rules mapping mapping function certainty factors of the embedded rules G.J. Hwang

  31. ACQUISITION TABLE AOT G.J. Hwang

  32. Conventional Repertory Grids(知識表格): IF (咳嗽=YES)&(疲倦=YES)&(頭痛=YES) THEN DISEASE=肺炎 CF=0.8 EMCUD: IF (咳嗽=YES)&(疲倦<>YES)&(頭痛=YES) THEN DISEASE=肺炎     CF=0.67 IF (咳嗽=YES)&(疲倦=YES)&(頭痛<>YES) THEN DISEASE=肺炎     CF=0.73 IF (咳嗽=YES)&(疲倦<>YES)&(頭痛<>YES) THEN DISEASE=肺炎     CF=0.6 G.J. Hwang

  33. OBJECT CHAIN:A METHOD FOR questions selection: • For the grid with 50 elements (or objects), there are 19600 possible choices of questions to elicit constructs (or attributes). • Initial repertory grid(知識表格) and the object chains: OBJECT CHAIN Obj1 --> 2,3,4,5 Obj2 --> 1,3,4,5 Obj3 --> 1,2,4,5 Obj4 --> 1,2,3,5 Obj5 --> 1,2,3,4 G.J. Hwang

  34. The expert gives attribute P1 to distinguish Obj1 andObj2 fromObj3 OBJECT CHAIN Obj1 -- > 2,5 Obj2 -- > 1,5 Obj3 -- > 4 Obj4 -- > 3 Obj5 -- > 1,2 G.J. Hwang

  35. The expert gives attribute P2 to distinguish Obj2 andObj5 fromObj1 OBJECT CHAIN Obj1 -- > NULL Obj2 -- > 5 Obj3 -- > NULL Obj4 -- > NULL Obj5 -- > 2 G.J. Hwang

  36. The expert gives attribute P3 to distinguish Obj2 fromObj5 OBJECT CHAIN Obj1 -- > NULL Obj2 -- > NULL Obj3 -- > NULL Obj4 -- > NULL Obj5 -- > NULL G.J. Hwang

  37. Advantages: • Fewer questions are asked(log2n to n-1 questions). • All of the objects are classified. • Every question matches the current requirement of classifying objects. • Disadvantages: • It may force the expert to think a specific direction. • Some important attributes may be ignored. G.J. Hwang

  38. Eliciting hierarchy of grids: • For the expert system(專家系統) of classifying families of plants Goal is FAMILY (科) G.J. Hwang

  39. Since class is not acquirable, it becomes the goal of a new grid. Goal is CLASS G.J. Hwang

  40. Since class is not acquirable, it becomes the goal of a new grid. Goal is TYPE G.J. Hwang

  41. Decision tree of the hierarchy of grids: FAMILY OF PLANT LEAF SHAPE NIDDLE PATTERN CLASS TYPE FLATE STEAM POSITION ONE TRUNK G.J. Hwang

  42. 3.5 An Application and Performance Evaluation of EMCUD • Application Domain: Diagnosis of Acute Exanthema • Hardware: Personal Computer • Software: Personal Consultant Easy G.J. Hwang

Spotted fever 3-Chickenpox10 - Typhus fevers 4-Smallpox11 – Infectious mononucleosis 5-Scarlet12 – Enterovirus infections 6-Exanthem subitum13 – Drug eruptions 7-Fifth disease14 – Eczema herpeticum Table 3.3:Testing results of the old and new prototypes. G.J. Hwang

  44. 3.6 Knowledge integration(知識整合)from multiple experts • To build a reliable expert system, the cooperation of several experts is usually required. • Difficulties: • Synonyms of elements (possible solutions) • Synonyms of traits (attributes to classify the solutions) • Conflicts of ratings G.J. Hwang

  45. Each expert has his own way to do some works. Habitual domain of Expert 1 Habitual domain of Expert 2 Integrated Knowledge Use more attributes to make choices from more possible decisions G.J. Hwang
