COMPARISON OF THE DIAGNOSTIC SUBSYSTEMS OF MDX AND MYCIN. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The authors have built a knowledge-based system for a large subset of the MYCIN domain following the MDX paradigm. Further, they have evaluated the resultant system, MDX-MYCIN, for computational adequacy, and for the important knowledge engineering attributes: ease of system debugging and of system extension. Results show that the MDX approach, in particular, the local calculation of likelihoods is applicable to the MYCIN domain, and in addition that the MDX approach offers certain advantages to the knowledge engineer.
