Expert Systems: Principles and Applications

Expert systems are computer programs designed to replicate the decision-making ability of human experts in specific domains. They use knowledge representation techniques to store and apply expert knowledge, often in the form of if-then rules. These rules allow the system to analyse input data, make informed decisions, or provide recommendations, similar to how a human expert would. Expert systems are used in diverse fields such as medicine for diagnosis, finance for investment advice and engineering for troubleshooting complex systems. They excel in tasks requiring reasoning based on a set of rules and knowledge. Advances in artificial intelligence, particularly in machine learning and natural language processing, continue to enhance the capabilities and adaptability of expert systems across various industries, making them valuable tools for decision support and automation. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core subjects of computer science & information technology. The aim of this book is to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.
