Abstract
In order to design intent-driven systems, the understanding of how the data is generated is essential. Without the understanding of the data generation process, it is not possible to use interventions, and counterfactuals. Interventions, and counterfactuals, are useful tools in order to achieve an artificial intelligence which can improve the system itself. We will create an understanding, and a model, of how data about decisions are generated, as well as used, by human decision makers. The research data were collected with the help of focus group interviews, and questionnaires. The models were built and evaluated with the help of, bayesian statistics, probability programming, and discussions with the practitioners. When we are combining, probabilistic programming models, extended machine learning algorithms, and data science processes, into a directed acyclic graph, we can mimic the process of human generated decision data. We believe the usage of a directed acyclic graph, to combine the functions and models, is a good base for mimic human generated decision data. Our next step is to evaluate if flow-based programming can be used as a framework for realization of components, useful in intent-driven systems.
