Q

Decision Support System

A

a highly flexible and interactive system that is designed to support decision making when the problem is not structured

helps to analyze but one must know how to solve the problem and use the results

22
Q

Expert System

Study These Flashcards
A

knowledge based system

An artificial intelligence system that applies reasoning capabilities to reach a conclusion

used to tell diagnostic problems (whats wrong) and prescriptive problems (what to do)

23
Q

Expert Systems CAN….

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Reduce errors
  2. Improve Customer Service
  3. Reduce Cost
24
Q

Expert Systems CANT…

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Use common sense

2. Automate all processes

25
Neural Networks
An artificial intelligence System that is capable of finding and differentiating patterns
26
Neural Networks CAN
1. Learn and adjust to circumstances on their own 2. Take part in massive parallel processing 3. Function without complete information 4. Cope with huge volumes of information 5. Analyze nonlinear relationships
27
Fuzzy Logic
A mathematical method of handling imprecise or subjective information used to make ambiguous information such as "short" usable in computer systems
28
Fuzzy Logic Applications
Google's Search Engine Antilock Brakes Washing Machines
29
Genetic Algorithm
an artificial intelligence system that mimics the evolutionary, survival of the fittest, process to generate increasingly better solutions to a problem
30
Evolutionary Theories of Genetic Algorithms
1. Selection 2. Crossover 3. Mutation
31
Selection
Survival of the fittest or giving preference to better outcomes
32
Crossover
combining portions of good outcomes to create even better outcomes
33
Mutation
randomly trying combinations and evaluating the success of each
34
Genetic Algorithms CAN
Take many possible solutions and combine and recombine them until it find the optimal solution work in environments where no model of how to find the right solution exists
35
Intelligence Agents
software that assist you, or acts on your behalf completing repetitive computer related tasks
36
Types of Intelligence Agents
1. Information Agents 2 Monitoring and surveillance or predictive agents 3. Data mining agents 4. User or personal agents
37
Information Agents
intelligent agents that search for information of some kind and bring it back
38
Buyer Agent/ Shopping Bot
an intelligent agent on a web site that helps the customer find products/services they want
39
Monitoring and surveillance or predictive agents
intelligence agents that constantly observe and report on some entity of interest, a network, or manufacturing equipment for example
40
Data Mining Agent
operates in a data warehouse discovering information
41
User or Personal Agents
Intelligence agent that takes action on our behalf
42
Examples of User/personal Agents
1. Prioritize emails 2. act as gaming partner 3. Assemble customized news reports 4. fill out forms for you 5. "Discuss" topics with you
43
Biomimicry
learning from ecosystems and adapting their characteristics to human and organizational situations
44
Biomimicry is used for.....
1. Learn how people based systems behave 2. Predict how they will behave under certain circumstances 3. Improve human systems to make them more efficient and effective
45
Agent based Modeling
a way of simulating human organizations using multiple intelligent agents, each of which follows a set of simple rules and can adapt to changing conditions
46
Multi-agent Modeling
groups of intelligent agents have the ability to work independently and to interact with each other
47
Swarm (Collective) intelligence
the collective behavior of groups of simple agents that are capable of devising solutions to problems as they arise eventually learning to coherent global patterns
48
Characteristics of SWARM intelligence
1. Flexibility - adaptability to change 2 Robustness - tasks are completed even if some individuals are removed 3. Decentralization - each individual has a simple job to do
