Intelligent Systems MGMT 661 - Summer 2012 Night #7, Part 1
Outline for Tonight • Intelligent Systems • Enterprise Knowledge Management Systems • Virtual Reality • Neural Networks • Expert Systems • Decision Support Systems • DSS and DSS models • GIS • ESS (e.g. Balanced Scorecard) • Final Homework • tutorial on Pivot Charts
Information Processing data = recording of events information = organized data knowledge = information + (patterns or context) wisdom = knowledge + experience
Types of Information • Structured Information • explicitly laid out as tables, graphs, reports • Unstructured Information • emails • presentations • memos • messages
Enterprise-wide Knowledge Management Systems • contents: • structured and unstructured information • FAQs, work blogs, white papers, special reports • directory of in-house experts • wiki pages • features: • search engines • collaboration tools (e.g. wikis and bookmarking) • automatic knowledge collection
Virtual Reality Systems • Current primary uses: • engineering design • medical imaging • Future Uses: • immersive data mining
Virtual Reality Today • Google Goggles • cell phone app • take a picture of a landmark and it tells you where you are • Google Glasses • hands free smart phone display • responds to voice commands
Neural Networks used to model complex relationships between inputs and outputs or to find patterns in data good at classification problems learns by example
Expert Systems • Elements of problem solving • facts about the problem • theories about the problem • strategies for solving these types of problems • rules for what to do • Components of an Expert System • Knowledge Base • facts (known and inferred) • heuristics (rule of thumb) • Inference Engine • method for reasoning about the facts and heuristics to form a conclusion
Expert Systems Example Heuristics if (temp is cold) then (need to wear a coat) if (sky is raining) then (need an umbrella) if (need to wear a coat) and (going outside) then (put on coat) and (retract (need to wear a coat)) if (checked temp) and (checked sky) and (going outside) then (go outside)
Expert Systems • well suited to mimicking trouble shooters • interpretation, diagnosis, design, repair, control • able to explain how and why a decision was reached • reasons to develop an ES: • capturing scarce expertise • consistent decisions • faster response • Problems: • expertise is hard to extract from humans
Group Exercise Write four expert system rules to determine which courses an MBA student should take next semester. if (fact) then (new fact)
