Tools for Building a Temporal Knowledge Base System Supporting Organizational Creativity

Building a Machining Knowledge Base for Intelligent Machine Tools

Intelligent machines respond to external environments on the basis of decisions that are made by sensing the changes in the environment and analyzing the obtained information. This study focuses on the construction of a knowledge base which enables decision making with that information. Approximately 70% of all errors that occur in machine tools are caused by thermal errors. In order to proacti...

Building a Large Knowledge Base for a Natural Language System

A sophisticated natural language system requires a large knowledge base. A methodology is described for constructing one in a principled way. Facts are selected for the knowledge base by determining what facts are linguistically presupposed by a text in the domain of interest. The facts are sorted into clnsters, and within each cluster they are organized according to their logical dependencies....

Building the Knowledge Base System IDP

IDP is a Knowledge Base System for a rich logic that combines rst order logic with logic programming. This article presents the motivation for building this system, discusses its logic and gives an overview of the architecture of the IDP-system, the forms of inference that it supports, and the techniques used to implement them. It also mentions applications and experiments performed with the sy...

Supporting Creativity with Conceptual Modeling Tools

Many of the tools developed within the knowledge acquisition research community to support the knowledge engineer in developing knowledge-based systems are based on methodologies from psychology, education or management designed to support people in developing overt conceptual models. Often the root discipline already has explicit models of the roles of these methodologies in supporting the hum...
