Introduction

A computer program designed to model the problem-solving ability of a human expert.

An expert system is computer software that attempts to act like a human expert on a particular subject area. Expert systems are often used to advise non-experts in situations where a human expert in unavailable.

Why Use an Expert System?


Frees expert from repetitive, routine jobs. Wide distribution of rare human knowledge. Improves worker productivity. Provides the beginner with expert advice on a specific subject

Reasons for building an E.S.


To store an experts knowledge, to insure against the day when he/she leaves, or retires, or dies. To distribute his/her knowledge, so that it is available in more places than the location of the expert. To ensure uniformity of advice/decisions. As a basis for training other specialists.

Advantages of expert systems

E.S. have the following advantages over human experts:

The knowledge is permanent The knowledge is easily replicated The system is reliable - whereas humans have bad days, computers dont. Once built, running costs are low

Disadvantages of expert systems

Developing an expert system usually takes more time & money. Historically, there has been a high failure rate in E.S. projects

The project may well fail during development or organisation may reject to use the finished system.

How Do Expert Systems Work?


INFERENCE ENGINE

USER INTERFACE

KNOWLEDGE BASE

An expert system is made up of three parts:


A user interface - This is the system that allows a non-expert user to question) the expert system, and to receive advice. The user-interface is designed to be a simple to use as possible. A knowledge base - This is a collection of facts and rules. The knowledge base is created from information provided by human experts. An inference engine - This acts rather like a

Inference Engine

Rule-Based ES
knowledge is encoded as IF THEN rules the inference engine determines which rule backgrounds are satisfied satisfied rules are placed on the agenda rules on the agenda can be activated

Example Rules
IF THEN Rules
Rule: Red_Light IF the light is red THEN stop Rule: Green_Light IF the light is green THEN go

Production Rules
the light is red ==> stop the light is green ==> go

Where Are Expert Systems Used?


Medical diagnosis - the knowledge base would contain medical information, the symptoms of the patient would be used as the query, and the advice would be a diagnose of the patients illness. Providing financial advice - whether to invest in a business.

Helping to identify items such as plants / animals / rocks / etc. -The knowledge base would contain characteristics of every item, the details of an unknown item would be used as the query, and the advice would be a likely identification.
