Description of the Course:
The purpose of this course is to learn theory and application of the concept of
expertise and the benefits associated with preserving and making expertise available
to a wider audience. Topics covered include components of Knowledge Based
Systems, uses of these systems, advantages, disadvantages, methods for
capturing expertise, the difference between knowledge and information, the
process of making inferences, and validating stored knowledge.
The .030 section of this course will meet 51% face-to-face in whole group meetings with the rest of the class time spent communicating in small groups and/or via the web. The final project will be a large knowledge-based system, divided into manageable and appropriate parts, each part being built by a small team. It is possible that an individual or small group, with the instructor’s consent, can substitute the class project with their own knowledge-based system project. Assignments will be exercises that apply course readings and findings and lead to the final project.
