A proposal of an evaluation method IPL for effects of individualquantity of domain knowledge on an intuitive classification in adistributed and cooperative KJ method and its application

摘要

We propose a new evaluation method IPL (Island formation usingPseudo Label), and show its efficiency. In IPL method, the effects ofdomain knowledge of each participant can be evaluated based on anintuitive classification task in a distributed and cooperative KJmethod. Experiments using IPL method show the influences upon the islandformation caused by the distribution of knowledge quantitatively. Thereexists a similar method called LCR method which provides an evaluationmethod for the logical classification tasks. However the proposed IPLmethod provides an evaluation method for the intuitive classificationtasks by which the creation of new idea can be done easily andeffectively
