The Event Bush as a Potential Complex Methodology of Conceptual Modelling in the Geosciences
نویسندگان
چکیده
The event bush is a new method of artificial intelligence proposed specially to meet the needs of geosciences, from basic research to communication with nonprofessionals. First results of its application as well as combination of event bush with mathematical and logical formalisms are encouraging, and the method has shown some advantages to existing approaches, as well as an ability to unite them and become a complex integrated methodology. However, since the very first steps, it turned out that the way of thinking that underlies event bush differs from virtually all existing pathways of thought perceived in the Earth sciences. This paper aims to provide the practical guidelines for building event bushes. For this, it describes the method through an example, chosen to be clear to any geoscientist and even non-scientist. The procedure of inference in the event bush is considered in positional (graphic) and semantic aspects. Interrelations of event bush with existing formalisms and ways of thinking are discussed. Recommendations are formulated to make the best use of event bushes in practical reasoning. C. A. Pshenichny et al. / The Event Bush as a Potential Complex Methodology of Conceptual Modelling...

متن کاملThe event bush as a semantic-based numerical approach to natural hazard assessment (exemplified by volcanology)
The event bush is a new formalism for organizing knowledge in various fields of geoscience, particularly suitable for hazard assessment purposes. Acting as an intermediary between expert knowledge and the well-established field of Bayesian belief networks, the event bush allows at the same time a variety of other applications, linking geoscientific knowledge to the field of artificial intellige...

متن کاملGIS modelling for Au-Pb-Zn potential mapping in Torud-Chah Shirin area-Iran
One of the major strengths of a Geographic Information System (GIS) in geosciences is the ability to integrate and combine multiple layers into mineral potential maps showing areas which are favorable for mineral exploration. These capabilities make GIS an extremely useful tool for mineral exploration. Several spatial modeling techniques can be employed to produce potential maps. However, these...
