Departmental Seminar at 2pm, 22 May in F10, 80 South Bridge. Nigel Shadbolt Psychology Dept, Nottingham University, "Fact, fantasies and frameworks: the design of a knowledge acquisition workbench" In this talk I will describe a system aimed at providing software support for the process of knowledge acquisition. Such support comprises a workbench incorporating a number of knowledge acquisition tools. These include knowledge elicitation techniques such as sorting and rating methods, together with machine learning techniques. The talk will focus on the various problems raised by this work. These include: defining an adequate view of the general acquisition process, developing an appropriate implementation architecture, directing knowledge acquisition via knowledge level models and producing a sufficiently powerful representation language to integrate the results of acquisition. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information about this or future seminars please contact Toby Walsh <T.Walsh@ed.ac.uk> at Dept of AI. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Toby Walsh, JANET: Toby_Walsh@uk.ac.edinburgh Dept of Artificial Intelligence, ARPA: Toby_Walsh%uk.ac.ed@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk
