Chandrasekaran, B. and Mittal, Sanjay (1999): Deep Versus Compiled Knowledge Approaches to Diagnostic Problem-Solving. In International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 51 (2) pp. 357-368.

Most of the current generation expert systems use knowledge which does not represent a deep understanding of the domain, but is instead a collection of "pattern action" rules, which correspond to the problem-solving heuristics of the expert in the domain. There has thus been some debate in the field about the need for and role of "deep" knowledge in the design of expert systems. It is often argued that this underlying deep knowledge will enable an expert system to solve hard problems. In this paper we consider diagnostic expert systems and argue that given a body of underlying knowledge that is relevant to diagnostic reasoning in a medical domain, it is possible to create a diagnostic problem-solving structure which has all the aspects of the underlying knowledge needed for diagnostic reasoning "compiled" into it. It is argued this compiled structure can solve all the diagnostic problems in its scope efficiently, without any need to access the underlying structures. We illustrate such a diagnostic structure by reference to our medical system MDX. We also analyze the use of these knowledge structures in providing explanations of diagnostic reasoning.

It has become increasingly clear to builders of knowledge-based systems that no single representational formalism or control construct is optimal for encoding the wide variety of types of problem solving that commonly arise and are of practical significance. In this paper we identify a class of problem solving activities which we have labeled routine planning. We consider the constructs necessary to represent the problem solving which appropriately characterizes this class, and describe DSPL, a high-level language designed specifically to encompass the required knowledge structures and control methodology for routine planning. Finally, we consider what type of structure is appropriate to represent an agent's understanding of how the plan itself works.

Bylander, Tom and Chandrasekaran, B. (1987): Generic Tasks for Knowledge-Based Reasoning: The "Right" Level of Abstraction for Knowledge Acquisition. In International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 26 (2) pp. 231-243.

Our research strategy has been to identify generic tasks -- basic combinations of knowledge structures and inference strategies that are powerful for solving certain kinds of problems. Our strategy is best understood by considering the "interaction problem", that representing knowledge for the purpose of solving some problem is strongly affected by the nature of the problem and by the inference strategy to be applied to the knowledge. The interaction problem implies that different knowledge-acquisition methodologies will be required for different kinds of reasoning, e.g. a different knowledge-acquisition methodology for each generic task. We illustrate this using the generic task of hierarchical classification. Our proposal and the interaction problem call into question many generally held beliefs about experts systems such as the belief that the knowledge base should be separated from the inference engine.

Chandrasekaran, B. and Mittal, Sanjay (1983): Deep versus Compiled Knowledge Approaches to Diagnostic Problem-Solving. In International Journal of Man-Machine Studies, 19 (5) pp. 425-436.

Most of the current generation expert systems use knowledge which does not represent a deep understanding of the domain, but is instead a collection of "pattern -> action" rules, which correspond to the problem-solving heuristics of the expert in the domain. There has thus been some debate in the field about the need for and role of "deep" knowledge in the design of expert systems. It is often argued that this underlying deep knowledge will enable an expert system to solve hard problems. In this paper we consider diagnostic expert systems and argue that given a body of underlying knowledge that is relevant to diagnostic reasoning in a medical domain, it is possible to create a diagnostic problem-solving structure which has all the aspects of the underlying knowledge needed for diagnostic reasoning "compiled" into it.
