This comprehensive overview of knowledge engineering covers key concepts, terminology, and methods for knowledge acquisition and representation. It examines sources of knowledge, the interrelationships between data items, and typical problem-solving approaches. Various methods of knowledge representation—like propositional logic, production rules, frames, and semantic networks—are explored, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, strategies such as backward and forward chaining are discussed, providing insights into goal-directed and data-driven reasoning techniques.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. Knowledge Engineering

  2. - Books - Journals - Manuals - Reports - Films - Databases - Pictures - Audio and Video Tapes - Flow Diagram - Observed Behavior - Knowledge stored in expert’s mind Sources of Knowledge

  3. - The basic concepts and terms - The inputs to the problem, which of them are difficult? - The interrelationships between data items - The degree of certainty of the data (inputs, outputs) - Typical solutions to the problem, what are their characteristics? - Sources of knowledge - Methods of knowledge acquisition - The underlying assumptions, and constraints - The conflicts, and exception rules Knowledge Acquisition Issues

  4. - Interview - Observation of Experts - Questionnaires - Analysis of Documented Knowledge - Computer-Aided Elicitation Methods of Knowledge Acquisition

  5. - Propositional Logic - Rules - Frames - Semantic Networks Methods of Knowledge Representation

  6. Propositional Logic Knowledge is presented in propositions that make logical inference possible. Example: Proposition 1 - If we increase marketing budget, sales will increase. Proposition 2 - We have increased marketing budget. Inference - Sales will increase.

  7. Production Rules Knowledge is presented as rules, called productions, in the following form: IF (condition, or premise) THEN (result, action, or consequent) Example: IF a person’s right hand is larger than his left hand THEN his job type is/has been manual labor.

  8. Frames A frame is a description of an object that contains slots for all the information associated with the object. Frames are arranged in hierarchies.

  9. (Frame) Human (Slot) # Legs (Slot) Weight Value 2 150 Default Example . (Frame) Man (Slot) Sex Value Male (Frame) AKO Value Human (Slot) Age Default 35

  10. (Frame) Man (Slot) Sex Value Male (Frame) AKO Value Human (Slot) Age Default 35 More on Example . (Frame) Bob (Slot) Height (Frame) AKO If Needed (Weight/Age) Value Man

  11. A semantic network is a collection of objects called nodes. The nodes are connected together by arcs or links. Nodes describe facts like physical objects, concepts or situations, where arcs define the relevant relationships among objects. Semantic Networks

  12. MICROCOMPUTER is-a COMPUTER DISKDRIVE is-part MICROCOMPUTER IBM PC is-a MICROCOMPUTER IBM PC color BEIGE IBM PC is-attached HP LASER JET IBM PC owner JOHN HP LASER JET is-a PRINTER JOHN is-a PERSON Fragments of a Computer Semantic Network

  13. Semantic Network COMPUTER is-a is-part PERSON MICROCOMPUTER DISK is-a is-a DRIVE JOHN IBM PC HP LASER JET owner is-attached color is-a BEIGE PRINTER

  14. Advantages of Different Representations Production Rules Simple syntax, easy to understand, easy to add or modify Semantic Networks Easy to follow hierarchy, easy to trace association, flexible Frames Expressive power, easy to set up slots for new properties, easy to include default information and detect missing values Formal Logic Facts asserted independently of use, guarantee that all and only valid consequences are asserted

  15. Disadvantages of Different Representations Production Rules Hard to follow hierarchies, inefficient for large systems, not all knowledge can be represented as rules Semantic Networks Meaning attached to nodes might be ambiguous, exception handling is hard Frames Difficult to program, difficult for inference, lack of inexpensive software Formal Logic Inefficient with large data sets, very slow with large knowledge base

  16. Backward Chaining - This method, also called goal directed reasoning, entails having a goal or a hypothesis as a starting point and then “working backward” along some paths to see if the conclusion is correct. Inference Control Strategies

  17. Forward Chaining - Is used for problem solving when data or basic ideas are a starting point. Under this method, the system does not start with any particular goals defined for it. It works from facts to conclusions. It reasons forward starting with data supplied by the user and applies all rules whose “if” parts are satisfied. Forward chaining often is described as data-driven or event-driven reasoning. Inference Control Strategies
