 Knowledge Engineering
 The process of building intelligent knowledge-based
systems is called knowledge engineering
 It has six basic phases:
• Problem assessment
• Data and knowledge acquisition
• Development of a prototype system
• Development of a complete system
• Evaluation and revision of the system
• Integration and maintenance of the system

 Problem Assessment
 Determine the problem characteristics:
 Problem type, input and output variables and there interaction, and
the form and content of the solution.
 Diagnosis (Rule-based system), Classification (NN)
 Identify the main participants in the project:
 Knowledge Engineer, and domain expert
 Specify the project objectives:
 Improving the quality of decisions, reducing labour costs, improving
the quality of product and service
 Determine the resources needed for building the system
 Computer facilities, development software, knowledge and data
sources (human experts, textbooks, manuals, website, etc.)

 Knowledge Acquisition

 The process of acquiring, studying and organizing

knowledge, so that it can be used in a knowledge-
based system
 Expert may also provide irrelevant, incomplete or
inconsistent information.
 Data and knowledge acquisition
 Collect and analyze data and knowledge
 Make key concepts of the system design more explicit

 Development of a Prototype System

 A prototype system can be defined as a small version

of the final system:
Choose a tool for building an intelligent system
Transform data and represent knowledge
Design and implement a prototype system
Test the prototype with test class

October 14, 2008 Artificial Intelligence, Lecturer #13 6

 Development of a Complete System

 Prepare a detail design for a full-scale system

 Collect additional data and knowledge

 Develop the user interface

 Implement the complete system

October 14, 2008 Artificial Intelligence, Lecturer #13 7

 Evaluation and Revision of the System

 Evaluate the system against the performance

criteria
 Revise the system as necessary

October 14, 2008 Artificial Intelligence, Lecturer #13 8

Integration and Maintenance of
the System

 Make arrangement for the technology transfer

 Establish an effective maintenance program

October 14, 2008 Artificial Intelligence, Lecturer #13 9

 Data Mining

 The extraction of knowledge from data. Also the

exploration and analysis of large amounts of data in
order to discover meaningful patterns and rules.
 The ultimate goal of data mining is to discover
knowledge

 Data Warehouse

 A data warehouse is really big-it includes millions,

even billions of data record.
 The data stored in a data warehouse is time
dependent
 A data ware house is designed to support decision
in the organization.

 What is the Difference Between a
Query Tool and Data Mining?

 Traditional query tools are assumption based.

 With a data mining tool, instead of assuming certain
relationships between different variables in a data
set, we can determine the most significant factors
that influence the outcome.
