what's Expert system ?
In artificial intelligence, an expert system is a computer system emulating the
decision-making ability of a human expert
Expert systems are designed to solve complex problems by reasoning through
bodies of knowledge .
The first expert systems were created in the 1970s and then proliferated in the
1980s
Parts of the expert system…
The expert system consists of 3 parts :
Knowledge base : Include knowledge related to the field of expertise.
Inference engine : A system for processing knowledge and deducing the method of inference.
User interface : Enables the non-expert user to gain access to the knowledge of the expert system.
Characteristics of expert systems
Easy to use for any user, whether a regular user or a developer.
Clearly useful in practice.
Able to learn from experts directly and indirectly.
Able to respond to simple as well as complex questions within the limits of the application.
A useful tool in providing high levels of expertise in the absence of an expert.
Able to develop the performance of specialists with minimal experience.
Current approaches to expert systems
limitations of the previous type of expert systems have urged researchers to develop new types of
approaches. They have developed more efficient, flexible, and powerful approaches in order to
simulate the human decision-making process. Some of the approaches that researchers have
developed are based on new methods of artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular in machine
learning and data mining approaches with a feedback mechanism. Recurrent neural networks often
take advantage of such mechanisms. Related is the discussion on the disadvantages section.
Modern systems can incorporate new knowledge more easily and thus update
themselves easily. Such systems can generalize from existing knowledge better and
deal with vast amounts of complex data. Related is the subject of big data here.
Sometimes these type of expert systems are called "intelligent systems."
ADVANTAGES OF EXPERT SYSTEMS
1. Increased availability and reliability: Expertise can be accessed on any computer
hardware and the system always completes responses on time.
2. Multiple expertise: Several expert systems can be run simultaneously to solve a
problem. and gain a higher level of expertise than a human expert.
3. Explanation: Expert systems always describe of how the problem was solved.
4. Fast response: The expert systems are fast and able to solve a problem in real-time.
5. Reduced cost: The cost of expertise for each user is significantly reduced.
DISADVANTAGE OF EXPERT SYSTEMS
1. Expert systems have superficial knowledge, and a simple task can potentially become computationally
expensive.
2. Expert systems require knowledge engineers to input the data, data acquisition is very hard.
3. The expert system may choose the most inappropriate method for solving a particular problem.
4. Problems of ethics in the use of any form of AI are very relevant at present.
5. It is a closed world with specific knowledge, in which there is no deep perception of concepts and their
.interrelationships until an expert provides them
