A Cooperative Approach To Integrating Expert Systems with Neural Networks

Abstract

Integrating expert systems and other information and knowledge processing technologies, e.g. neural network approach, represents a great challenge for the knowledge based systems technology itself. This paper presents a brief introduction into knowledge-based systems technology state of the art and highlights also the basics of the neural networks technology. The problem solving aspects and principles of both mentioned technologies are compared and discussed more in detail. Proposed expert systems and neural networks integration method is described in the paper. A short discussion on results achieved is provided also in the paper.
