1) Expert systems are a type of artificial intelligence software that uses a knowledge base of human expertise to help solve problems or provide advice in a specific domain. 2) A key expert system is MYCIN, which was designed to diagnose bacterial infections by taking in patient symptoms and test results and applying rules to identify the infection, bacteria causing it, and best treatment. 3) Expert systems have advantages like being customizable but also disadvantages like potential for misuse if the knowledge base contains incorrect or conflicting rules.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Computers with the ability to mimic or duplicate the

functions of the human brain.


Intelligent behaviour :

Learn from experience. Apply knowledge acquired from experience. Handle complex situations. React quickly and correctly to a new situation. Understand visual images.

EXPERT SYSYEM
Expert systems are most common in a specific problem

domain, and are a traditional application and/or subfield of artificial intelligence.


An expert system is software that uses a knowledge base

of human expertise for problem solving, or to clarify uncertainties where normally one or more human experts would need to be consulted.

Major Components of Expert System


User Interface

Inference Engine

Knowledge Base

Working of Expert System


MYCIN Expert System : The expert system must be fed its knowledge. Human

experts, in this case doctors specializing in bacterial infections, contribute their information on a particular subject, which is programmed into the system.

Next, information on a new problem is presented to the

system. A doctor trying to determine the presence and cause of bacterial infections may input the patients symptoms, general condition, and medical history, as well as results from simple lab tests.

Additional information may be required to help the expert

system eliminate possible options. The MYCIN system requires patients to fill out a questionnaire that includes such data as gender, age, and when symptoms first appeared. applying its system of rules, will suggest likely solutions for the problem. An expert system such as MYCIN might identify whether a bacterial infection actually exists, what type of bacteria is causing the infection, and what is the best course of medical treatment.

The expert system will take the data it has been given and,

Advantages of Expert System


Easy to develop and modify.

Development by knowledge engineers and users.

The use of satisficing.

Disadvantages of Expert System


An expert system or rule-based approach is not

optimal for all problems, and considerable knowledge is required so as to not misapply the systems.
A system can be sabotaged by a non-knowledgeable

user who can easily add worthless rules or rules that conflict with existing ones

Some Application Areas of Expert System


In Agriculture.(eg. : VARIEX)

In Education.(eg. : LEONARDO)
In Environmental Management.(eg. : GIS) In Medicine.(eg : CADET)
