โœฆ Synopsis


MOLE can help domain experts build a heuristic problem-solver by working with them to generate an initial knowledge base and then detect and remedy deficiencies in it. The problem-solving method presupposed by MOLE makes several heuristic assumptions about the world, which MOLE is able to exploit when acquiring knowledge. In particular, by distinguishing between covering and differentiating knowledge and by allowing covering knowledge to drive the knowledge-acquisition process, MOLE is able to disambiguate an under-specified knowledge base and to interactively refine an incomplete knowledge base.

Knowledge acquisition has been identified as the bottleneck for knowledge engineering. One of the reasons is the lack of an integrated methodology that is able to provide tools and guidelines for the elicitation of knowledge as well as the verification and validation of the system developed. Even th
