Model of the Interface for Managing Verbally Represented Source Data in Expert Systems

摘要

A model of the interface for source-data management in expert systems is considered. This model is aimed at the source-data management in dialog mode when solving applied problems. The model can be used to develop the interface of expert systems for application domains whose set of concepts characterizing the source data has a hierarchy and a large number of concepts (it could reach thousands and even tens of thousands of concepts). The source data of the problems are verbally represented, and source data can be input before the beginning of inference. The design of the interface based on this model is easy to implement, and it is easily modifiable both at the design-and-development phase and at the phase of operation of an expert system. In addi- tion, the principle of designing the interface independently of the kernel of the expert system is adopted.
