For the last few years we have observed a growing interest among reseachers about how to make computers behave “intelligently”. The field of computer science has gained a substantial level of development especially in the field of so-called expert systems. This particular area has also obtained relatively wide approval and applicability. This paper describes an experimental version of the conversational natural language information retrieval system which is currently under investigation at the Institute for Informatics of Warsaw University. This system deals with gastroenterology, a branch of internal medicine. The system's purpose is to provide physicians and hospital personnel with information which may be consulted during the diagnostic process. The system first acquires a base knowledge in the field which is presented to it in the form of a comprehensive natural language text. From this point on knowledge can be retrieved and/or updated in conversational manner. The system has a modular structure and its most important parts are the natural language processor and the reasoning module based on procedural deduction. The deduction process is realized through the mechanisms known as fuzzy logic incorporated in the FUZZY programming language. The system has been designed in close co-operation with specialists in medical science, and implemented on an IBM 370/148 at Warsaw University. |
