AI Module 4 Lecture 2

The document discusses the components of an expert system including the knowledge base, reasoning engine, explanation module, and user interface. It describes the rule-based architecture used by most expert systems and how rules are chained through inference to reach conclusions. Finally, it covers the roles of individuals who interact with an expert system and various techniques for acquiring knowledge from experts, including protocol generation, analysis, hierarchy generation, and matrix-based techniques.

Rule based system architecture
• The most common form of architecture used in expert and other types of
knowledge based system is the production system, also called the rule-based
system.

• This type of system uses knowledge encoded in the form of production rules,
that
is, if ….then rules.

• Each rule represents a small chunk of knowledge relating to the given domain
of expertise.

• A number of related rules collectively may correspond to a chain of


inferences which lead from some initially known facts to some useful
conclusions.

• When the known facts support the conditions in the rule’s left side, the
conclusion or action part of the rule is then accepted as known.

Rule based system architecture
• Inference in the production systems is accomplished by a process of
chaining through the rules recursively, either in a forward or backward
direction, until a conclusion is reached or until failure occurs.

• The selection of rules used in the chaining process is determined by


matching current facts against the domain knowledge or variables in rules
and choosing among a candidate set of rules the ones that meet some given
criteria, such as specificity.

• The inference process is typically carried out in an interactive mode with


the user providing input parameters needed to complete the rule chaining
process.

Expert System Components And
Human Interfaces
• Expert systems have a number of major system components
and interface with individuals who interact with the system in
various roles.
