Instructions on preparing the final project report
- Your project mark will depend on the quality of the program you
write and the effort that you have demonstrated in developing it.
- The project report should serve both as a user manual for your
system and as a document describing your system design and the steps
you went through in developing the system.
- Your report must describe the knowledge engineering exercise that
went into the development of your expert system. You must describe who
and what your knowledge sources were and how you went about obtaining
the expert knowledge encoded in your system (e.g., interviews, meetings,
web search etc.)
- Your report must provide a description of the high-level design of
your system. You must specify what the major classes of rules are, what
the distinct levels of rule chaining are as well as what the inputs and
outputs are at each level.
- You must describe what the sources of uncertainty were in your
knowledge base and how you handled the problem of representing uncertain
knowledge.
- You must describe how you visualize your system being used in a
real-life environment.
- You may describe any problems you encountered in developing your
system, including technological impediments that might have limited the
scope and effectiveness of your system.
