Scalable Reasoning For Knowledge Bases Subject To Changes, Hui Shi
Scalable Reasoning For Knowledge Bases Subject To Changes, Hui Shi
Computer Science Theses & Dissertations
ScienceWeb is a semantic web system that collects information about a research community and allows users to ask qualitative and quantitative questions related to that information using a reasoning engine. The more complete the knowledge base is, the more helpful answers the system will provide. As the size of knowledge base increases, scalability becomes a challenge for the reasoning system. As users make changes to the knowledge base and/or new information is collected, providing fast enough response time (ranging from seconds to a few minutes) is one of the core challenges for the reasoning system.
There are two basic inference …
Effectiveness Analysis Of Knowledge Bases, Shensheng Zhao
Effectiveness Analysis Of Knowledge Bases, Shensheng Zhao
Computer Science Theses & Dissertations
Knowledge base systems (expert systems) are entering a critical stage as interest spreads from university research to practical applications. If knowledge base systems are to withstand this transition, special attention must be paid to checking their effectiveness. The issue of effectiveness analysis of knowledge base systems has been largely ignored and few works have been published in this field. This dissertation shows how the effectiveness of a knowledge base system can be defined, discussed and analyzed at the knowledge base system level and the knowledge base level. We characterize the effectiveness of a knowledge base system in terms of minimality, …
