Features of Expert Systems

Knowledge Base – Contains facts and rules about a


specific subject area, acting as the system’s
memory.
Inference Engine – Applies logical reasoning to the
knowledge base to deduce new facts or make
decisions.
User Interface – Allows users to interact with the
system by inputting queries and receiving
explanations or recommendations.
Explanation System – Provides reasoning behind
decisions made by the system, increasing
Real world Applications of Expert systems
• Medical Diagnosis (e.g., MYCIN) – Expert systems assist doctors by
diagnosing diseases based on symptoms and medical history. MYCIN, an
early expert system, was used to identify bacterial infections and
recommend antibiotics.
• Financial Fraud Detection – Banks and financial institutions use expert
systems to detect fraudulent transactions by analyzing patterns and
flagging suspicious activity. These systems help prevent cybercrimes and
financial losses.
• Industrial Fault Diagnosis (e.g., XCON) – Manufacturing and engineering
industries use expert systems like XCON to diagnose equipment failures
and suggest maintenance solutions, reducing downtime and improving
efficiency.
