ABSTRACT:
An interface to an artificial intelligence system shell is provided to facilitate the task of knowledge acquisition, knowledge refinement, knowledgebase addition/modification, knowledgebase maintenance and information management relating to a specific expert system project. The interface communicates with an artificial intelligence system via a Unix.RTM. pipe to pass knowledge data therebetween in accordance with high level functions selected by the user. Preferably, these high level functions are selected via a user friendly interface such as windows. The present invention thus allows the artificial intelligence system shell to be used by those who are not particularly familiar with the artificial intelligence program by allowing the user to communicate with the artificial intelligence program without understanding the details of the artificial intelligence programming language. Since the expert system shell is accessible by a wider variety of users, the knowledgebase can be updated more efficiently such that the real benefits of artificial intelligence can be appreciated. Also, the invention may be used in a manufacturing environment along with a video interface to allow real-time analysis and control of production defects.
