“…Interview metasystems (Kawaguchi, Motoda, & Mizoguchi, 1991) can here provide a scalable approach to expert interviews by raising questions automatically to elicit new knowledge and refine the domain model. Furthermore, interviewing techniques can be extended through the use of graphical rather than numerical data entry to provide an interactive graphical elicitation environment within which the experts can distinguish cases (Gaines, 1993).…”
“…Currently, KA in expert systems is typically either based on manual (interviewing) discussions or generated by a semiautomated process. Few KA tools provide an automatic facility to elicit, generate and refine knowledge, and store it in the knowledge base (Kawaguchi and Motoda, 1991;Moulin and Rousseau, 1992). However, there are some limitations in these approaches that still need to be solved.…”
The development of knowledge-based (or expert) systems for the surface-mount printed wiring board (PWB) assembly domain requires the understanding and regulation of several complex tasks. While the knowledge base in an expert system serves as a storehouse of knowledge primitives, its design and development is a bottleneck in the expert system development lifecycle. Therefore the development of an automated knowledge acquisition (KA) facility (or KA tool) would facilitate the implementation of expert systems for any domain. This paper describes an automated KA tool that helps to elicit and store information in domain-specific knowledge bases for surface-mount PWB assembly. A salient feature of this research is the acquisition of uncertain information.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
