  • Method and apparatus for refinement of learning in expert networks
    Patent number: 5649066
    Abstract: A method for constructing an expert network apparatus from a specific rule-based expert system, having a certainty factor, through the use of a first-order network structure comprising regular node structures and weighted connections and a second-order network comprising regular nodes, operation nodes and connections. Also disclosed are related methods for implementing backpropagation learning on an acyclic, event-driven, expert network apparatus and for improving the rule-base of a rule-based expert system. Further disclosed is an event-driven expert network of high-level nodes and methods for implementing backpropagation learning thereon.
