Title: Kardio: A Study in Deep and Qualitative Knowledge for Expert Systems.
Description: Cambridge, MA: The MIT Press, 1989. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 278 pp.- This book is the first detailed account of the development of a complex and successful expert system based on deep and qualitative knowledge. It shows how the qualitative modeling approach, using logic based representations and machine learning techniques, can be used to construct knowledge bases whose complexity is far beyond the capability of traditional, dialogue based techniques of knowledge acquisition. The relevant techniques are demonstrated in full detail in the building of Kardio, a medical expert system model of the human heart designed for the diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias. Kardio's performance is estimated by cardiologists to be equivalent to that of a specialist of internal medicine (not a cardiologist) who is highly skilled in the reading of ECG recordings, and it can be used as a diagnostic tool in ECG interpretation. It may also be used for instruction in electrocardiography. English text. Condition : as new. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. ISBN 9780262022736.
