Knowledge Engineering: Building Cognitive Assistants for Evidence-based Reasoning
Abstract
This book presents a significant advancement in the theory and practice of knowledge engineering, the discipline concerned with the development of systems that use expert knowledge and reasoning to solve complex problems. It covers the main stages in the development of a knowledge-based system: understanding the application domain, modeling problem solving in that domain, developing the ontology and the reasoning rules, and testing the system. The book focuses on a special class of systems - learning assistants for evidence-based reasoning that learn complex problem solving expertise directly from human experts, support experts and non-experts in problem solving and decision making, and teach their problem solving expertise to students. A powerful learning agent shell, Disciple-EBR, is included with the book, enabling students, practitioners, and researchers to rapidly develop learning assistants in a wide variety of domains that require evidence-based reasoning, including intelligence analysis, cyber security, law, forensics, medicine, and education.

“Automated systems that digest large sets of data using named entity recognition, NER (18), are an integral part of public domain databases, for example, DISEASES for gene-disease associations (19); STRING for protein-protein interactions (20); and OpenTargets (21) and Pharos (22) for complex disease-protein-drug annotations, to name a few.”

“Specifically for the “why” and “what if” types of questions, relevant, preferably reliable data must be identified, inferred when absent, and connected through evidence-based reasoning, illustrated by the metaphor "connecting the dots" (17).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
