This
book presents a
significant advancement
in the theory and
practice of knowledge
engineering, the
discipline concerned
with the development of
intelligent agents that
use knowledge and
reasoning to perform
problem-solving and
decision-making tasks.
It covers the main
stages in the
development of a
knowledge-based agent:
understanding the
application domain,
modeling problem solving
in that domain,
developing the ontology,
learning the reasoning
rules, and testing the
agent. The book focuses
on a special class of
agents: cognitive
assistants for
evidence-based reasoning
that learn complex
problem-solving
expertise directly from
human experts, support
experts, and nonexperts
in problem solving and
decision making, and
teach their
problem-solving
expertise to students. |
|
A powerful
learning agent shell, Disciple-EBR,
is included with the book, enabling
students, practitioners, and
researchers to develop cognitive
assistants rapidly in a wide variety
of domains that require
evidence-based reasoning, including
intelligence analysis,
cybersecurity, law, forensics,
medicine, and education.
