    mahesh anavkar
    MYCIN was an early expert system developed in the 1970s to diagnose and recommend treatments for infectious blood diseases. It used a knowledge base of rules provided by experts and could explain its reasoning. MYCIN had components for consultation with users, explaining its conclusions, and allowing experts to modify the knowledge base over time as understanding improved.

    Explanation
    Summary
    HISTORY
    MYCIN was developed at Stanford
    University in the mid 1970s.
    Project spans a decade
    Research started in 1972.
    Original Implementation
    completed in 1976.
    Research continued into the
    1980s.
    MYCIN : The Problem
    Roberts & Visconti [1972]:
    Only 13% of patients are treated.
    66% are being irrational treatment.
    21% are being questionable treatment.

    Irrationality means, for example :


    Using a contraindicated combination.
    Using the wrong agent for a specific organism.
    Not taking the required cultures.
    Design Parameter
    Program must be competent and easy to use.
    Must handle a large changing body of knowledge.
    Interact with human users.
    Must take time into account.
    Work with incomplete and uncertain
    information.
    SYSTEM COMPONENTS
    Consultation System
    ask question.
    Draws conclusions.
    Given advice .

    Explanation System

    Stages in Diagnosis and
    Treatment
    Decide if there is any significant infection.
    Identify the causing organism by clinical and laboratory
    evidence.
    Decide what antibiotics agent the organism are sensitive too.
    Prescribe the optimal drug combinations for the particular
    care.

    Terminal interface to Physician.
    Explanation System

    Provides reasoning why a conclusion has been made , or


    why a question is being asked.
    Record rule invocation and associates them with questions
    and rules invoked.
    Use rule index to retrieve particular rules in answer to
    question .
    Why and how questions are answered using goal tree.
    Knowledge Acquisition Program
    Extend static DB via Dialogue with experts
    Dialogue driven by Experts
    Requires minimal training for Experts.
    Allows for Incremental Competence , NOT an ALL or-
    Nothing model.
    IF-THEN symbolic logic was found to be easy for Experts to
    learn, and required little training by the MYCIN training.
    SUMMARY
    MYCIN combines the advantages of general rule based
    system with the advantages of an inexact reasoning.

    MYCIN has not addressed how to convert from human terms


    to certainties how to normalize across different peoples
    how far to propagate certainty factor changes based on new
    evidences how to provide feedback to database to improve
    certainty factor accuracy.
