Representing problem-solving for knowledge refinement.

Craw, Susan; Boswell, Robin

Abstract

Knowledge refinement tools seek to correct faulty knowledge based systems (KBSs) by identifying and repairing potentially faulty rules. The goal of the KrustWorks project is to provide a source of refinement components from which specialised refinement tools tailored to the needs of a range of KBSs are built. A core refinement algorithm reasons about the knowledge that has been applied, but this approach demands general knowledge structures to represent the reasoning of a particular problem solving episode. This paper investigates some complex forms of rule interaction and defines a knowledge structure encompassing these. The approach has been applied to KBSs built in four shells and is demonstrated on a small example that incorporates some of the complexity found in real applications.
