A

Identifying and gathering relevant knowledge from various sources.

20
Q

How is knowledge validated in knowledge engineering?

A

By using test cases to ensure the quality and relevance of the knowledge.

21
Q

What is the importance of knowledge representation?

A

It involves mapping and encoding knowledge into a usable format for knowledge-based systems.

22
Q

What is the role of inferencing in knowledge-based systems?

A

Creating logical connections within the knowledge to facilitate decision-making or advice.

23
Q

How do knowledge engineers ensure explanation and justification?

A

By designing systems that can explain their reasoning and justify conclusions based on the encoded knowledge.

24
Q

What types of knowledge are crucial in knowledge engineering?

A

Declarative, procedural, and meta-knowledge are all crucial types.

25
Q

What are the key responsibilities of a knowledge engineer?

26
Q

What is Knowledge Engineering

A

Process of developing knowledge based systems in any field

27
Q

What is the issue with just numbers like;
12345
7.42
43
25

A

The numbers have no meaning they are just symbols – we need to associate them with labels
