MGT 3061 Chapter Notes - Chapter 8: Expert System, Decision Support System, Machine Translation
Document Summary
Consists of related technologies that try to simulate and reproduce human thought and behaviour. Ai technologies apply computers to areas that require knowledge, perception, reasoning, understanding and cognitive abilities. Capabilities of these systems have improved in an attempt to close the gap between artificial intelligence and human intelligence. Robots one of the most successful applications of ai. They perform well at simple, repetitive tasks and can be used to free workers from tedious or hazardous jobs. Mimic human expertise in a particular field to solve a problem in a well defined area. Knowledge abase management system(kbms): used to keep the knowledge base updated, with changes to facts figures and rules. Explanation facility: performs tasks similar to what a human expert does by explaining to end users how recommendations are derived. Inference engine: similar to the model base component of a decision support system. By using different techniques such as forward and backward chaining, manipulates a series of rules.
