TG 4.2 Four Activities Involved in the Transfer of Expertise Expert Computer User The Components of Expert Systems Applications, Benefits, and Limitations of Expert Systems Expert Systems
Four Activities Involved in the Transfer of Expertise Expert Computer User • Knowledge Acquisition • Knowledge Representation • Knowledge Inferencing • Knowledge Transfer
The Components of Expert Systems • Knowledge Base • Facts • Rules • Inference Engine
Applications, Benefits, and Limitations of Expert Systems • Expert Systems Are Especially Useful in the Following Categories • Benefits of Expert Systems • Difficulties of Using Expert Systems
Applications, Benefits, and Limitations of Expert Systems • Expert Systems Are Especially Useful in the Following Categories • Interpretation • Prediction • Diagnosis • Design • Planning • Monitoring • Debugging • Repair • Instruction • Control
Applications, Benefits, and Limitations of Expert Systems • Benefits of Expert Systems • Increased Output and Productivity • Increased Quality • Capture and Dissemination of Scarce Resources • Accessibility to Knowledge and Help Desks • Reliability • Ability to Work with Incomplete or Uncertain Information • Provision of Training • Enhancement of Decision-making and Problem-solving Capabilities • Decreased Decision-Making Time • Reduced Downtime • Difficulties of Using Expert Systems • Transferring domain expertise from human experts to the expert system can be difficult because people cannot always explain what they know • Even if the doman experts can explain their entire reasoning process, automating that process may not be possible • In some contexts, there is a potential liability from the use of expert systems.
