--- abstract: 'This paper examines and compares several different approaches to design of intelligent systems for diagnosis applications. These include expert systems (or knowledge based systems), truth (or reason) maintenance systems, case based reasoning systems, and inductive approaches like decision trees, neural networks (or connectionist systems), and statistical pattern classification systems. Each of these approaches is demonstrated through the design of a system for a simple automobile fault diagnosis task. The paper also discusses the domain characteristics that influence the choice of a specific technique (or combination of techniques) for a given application.' altloc: - http://www.cs.iastate.edu/~honavar/Papers/diagnosis.ps chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Balakrishnan given: Karthik honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Honavar given: Vasant honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1998 date_type: published datestamp: 2002-09-21 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/24/69 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 2469 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/2469/1/diagnosis.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'Intelligent diagnosis, expert systems, neural networks, case-based reasoning, model-based systems, decision trees, knowledge acquisition' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:00 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 3/4 pagerange: 239-290 pubdom: FALSE publication: Journal of Intelligent Systems publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:44:59 subjects: - comp-sci-mach-learn - comp-sci-neural-nets - comp-sci-art-intel succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Intelligent Diagnosis Systems type: journalp userid: 3444 volume: 8
