A Hybrid Expert System Architecture for Medical Diagnosis

  • Conference paper
Artificial Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms

Abstract

This paper deals with a new methodology for the development of an expert system (ES) using a hybrid architecture. This architecture simplifies the knowledge acquisition phase, by providing some sort of learning corresponding to the training phase of the neural network. So, it is possible to start with the nucleus of a knowledge base and the system will improve during the learning phase using examples.
