Knowledge base processing and expert system - stores indices representing certainty grade of casual relationship between occurrence and others relevant to it

摘要

An expert system (5000) used to improve the operation of a process has a data base (5300) that provides a knowledge bank (5300) based upon the experience of an engineer (6200). The engineer's particular skills are quantified and the information entered into the data base. A user (6100) accesses the expert system via an interface (5100) that connects to a final processing unit (5200). A knowledge base processor (1000) is connected to the expert system to process historical information and has a processor (2000) that monitors the effectioness of the data by evaluating the output. A second processor (3000) generates knowledge data for the data base. ADVANTAGE - Refines knowledge base dependent upon results.
