Project STEAMER: 1. Taxonomy for Generating Explanations of How to Operate Complex Physical Devices.

摘要

The main objective of the STEAMER effort is to develop and evaluate advanced knowledge-based techniques for use in low-cost portable training systems. The project is focused on propulsion engineering as a domain in which to investigate these computer-based training techniques. This report, the first in a series on the STEAMER project, describes an initial framework for the development of techniques to automatically generate explanations of the operation of physical devices like those found in propulsion plants.
