Building Disciple Agents: Selected Validation and Verification Issues
نویسندگان
چکیده
Disciple is an approach for developing interactive learning agents where the user teaches the agent in much the same way in which he would teach a human apprentice, by giving the agent specific examples of problems and solutions, explanations of these solutions, supervising the agent as it solves new problems and validating its solutions. In this paper we review the Disciple approach emphasizing those features that facilitate the development of verified and validated intelligent agents. We use for illustration the case of developing an Assessment Agent for the Multimedia and Thinking Skills educational software.

The Disciple Integrated Shell and Methodology for Rapid Development of Knowledge-Based Agents
The Disciple Learning Agent Shell (Disciple-LAS) is an integrated set of modules for rapid development of practical end-to-end knowledge-based agents, by domain experts, with limited assistance from knowledge engineers. DiscipleLAS and its associated agent building methodology are presented in (Tecuci et al. 1999). Therefore, in this paper, we introduce two very different agents developed with ...
متن کاملTeaching intelligent agents: The disciple approach
The ability to build intelligent agents is significantly constrained by the knowledge acquisition effort required. Many iterations by human experts and knowledge engineers are currently necessary to develop knowledge-based agents with acceptable performance. We have developed a novel approach, called Disciple, for building intelligent agents that relies on an interactive tutoring paradigm, rath...

متن کاملOntologies for Learning Agents : Problems , Solutions and Directions
We are developing a general end-to-end approach, called Disciple, for building and using personal problem solving and learning agents. This approach raises complex challenges related to ontology specification, import, elici-tation, learning, and merging, that we have explored to various degrees, as we are developing successive versions of Disciple. This paper presents some of these challenges, ...
