Abstract

In this paper we describe the application of natural language processing and speech techniques to improve the user-interface of expert systems. The particular goal of our project was to develop a German language interface for expert systems using speech input and output. The interface design was chosen in a way to provide for portability and flexibility. Possible application areas are domains where the user's vision is occupied by some task and where the dialogue is mostly system-driven, i.e., the user's answers can be restricted to a small set of utterances.

Knowledge engineering problems during expert system development

Expert systems are artificial intelligence computer programs which emulate human expertise within some domain of interest. The recent financial successes of such expert systems as PROSPECTOR and XCON have created a demand in government and industry for ...
The Development of a Bilingual Fuzzy Expert System Shell

Fuzzy logic has been incorporated in many expert systems to solve real world problems that are inherently ambiguous. With fuzzy logic it is possible to program human intuition through the development of fuzzy expert system shells. A fuzzy expert system ...
Building a Composite Syntax for Expert System Shells

Many enterprises use several expert system shells to develop production-rule-based expert system applications. Each shell has its own production-rule language (and inferencing capabilities). Knowledge engineers are often burdened with understanding ...
