  3. Knowledge Based Systems • Software systems that contain representations of human knowledge and can thus emulate human behaviour (to some extent).

  4. Knowledge Based Systemsin practice • 1997 IBM computer program Deep Blue defeats world chess champion

  5. BHAG • McManus-Informaticus • Deep Blue for Biomedical Research. • What are the Biomarkers of allograft rejection likely to be? • Hypothesis generation • Hypothesis validation

  6. “Knowledge Representation” Is hard and takes a lot of time

  7. Neurosurgery?
