BTE 210 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Inference Engine, Cleverbot, Turing Test
Document Summary
Turing test (alice, cleverbot: alan turing, british ai pioneer, the imitation game (2014) Knowledge base: facts: such as problem situation, rules: direct use of knowledge to solve specific problems in a particular domain. Inference engine: a computer program that provides a methodology for reasoning and formulating conclusions. User interface: dialogue between user and computer triggers the inference engine to match the problem symptoms with the knowledge contained in the knowledge base and then generate advice. Ess can provide consistent advice and reduce error rates: capture and dissemination of scarce resources. Expertise from anywhere in the world can be obtained and used: operation in hazardous environments, accessibility to knowledge and help desks, reliability. Ess do not become tired or bored, call in sick, or go on strike. Consistently pay attention to details: ability to work with incomplete or uncertain information, provision of training.
