Expert System: Made By: Rohit Khare B.Tech 2nd Year College:Srmcem, Lko

This document provides an overview of expert systems, including their capabilities, components, development process, and applications. Expert systems can explain their reasoning, draw conclusions from complex relationships, and provide portable knowledge. They are composed of a knowledge base, inference engine, and user interface. Expert systems are useful when human expertise is scarce, expensive, or needed in multiple locations. They are developed by capturing domain experts' knowledge with the help of knowledge engineers. Common applications of expert systems include information management, plant layout, medical diagnosis, and loan analysis.

Overview of Expert Systems
Can…
Explain their reasoning or suggested decisions
Display intelligent behavior
Draw conclusions from complex relationships
Provide portable knowledge
Expert system shell
A collection of software packages and tools used to
develop expert systems
Capabilities of Expert Systems
Strategic goal setting Explore impact of strategic goals

Planning Impact of plans on resources

Integrate general design principles and


Design
manufacturing limitations

Decision making Provide advise on decisions

Quality control and monitoring Monitor quality and assist in finding solutions

Diagnosis Look for causes and suggest solutions


When to Use an Expert System (1)
Provide a high potential payoff or significantly
reduced downside risk
Capture and preserve irreplaceable human expertise
Provide expertise needed at a number of locations at
the same time or in a hostile environment that is
dangerous to human health
When to Use an Expert System (2)
Provide expertise that is expensive or rare
Develop a solution faster than human experts can
Provide expertise needed for training and
development to share the wisdom of human experts
with a large number of people
Components of an
Expert System (1)
Knowledge base
Stores all relevant information, data, rules, cases, and
relationships used by the expert system
Inference engine
Seeks information and relationships from the
knowledge base and provides answers, predictions, and
suggestions in the way a human expert would
Rule
A conditional statement that links given conditions to
actions or outcomes
Components of an
Expert System (2)
Fuzzy logic
A specialty research area in computer science that allows
shades of gray and does not require everything to be
simply yes/no, or true/false
Backward chaining
A method of reasoning that starts with conclusions and
works backward to the supporting facts
Forward chaining
A method of reasoning that starts with the facts and
works forward to the conclusions

Rules for a Credit Application
Mortgage application for a loan for $100,000 to $200,000

If there are no previous credits problems, and


If month net income is greater than 4x monthly loan payment, and
If down payment is 15% of total value of property, and
If net income of borrower is > $25,000, and
If employment is > 3 years at same company

Then accept the applications

Else check other credit rules
