In the medical field, for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment of diseases, building knowledge base has received a lot of attention. The most important thing to build a knowledge base is representing the knowledge accurately. In this paper we suggest a knowledge representation method using Ontology technique with the datasets obtained from the domestic papers on Alzheimer disease that has received a lot of attention recently in the medical field. The suggested Ontology for Alzheimer disease defines all the possible classes: lexical information from journals such as 'author' and 'publisher' research subjects extracted from 'title', 'abstract', 'keywords', and 'results'. It also included various semantic relationships between classes through the Ontology properties. Inference can be supported since our Ontology adopts hierarchical tree structure for the classes and transitional characteristics of the properties. Therefore, semantic representation based query is allowed as well as simple keyword query, which enables inference based knowledge query using an Ontology query language 'SPARQL'.

Conventional symbolic inference systems lack flexibility because they do not well reflect flexible semantic structure of knowledge and use symbolic logic for their basic inference mechanism. For solving this problem. we have recently proposed the 'Connectionist Semantic Network(CSN)' as a model for flexible knowledge representation and inference based on neural networks. The CSN is capable of carrying out both approximate reasoning and commonsense reasoning based on similarity and association. However. we have difficulties in representing general and structured high-level knowledge and variable binding using the connectionist framework of the CSN. In this paper. we propose a hybrid system called SymCSN(Symbolic CSN) that combines a symbolic module for representing general and structured high-level knowledge and a connectionist module for representing and learning low-level semantic structure Simulation results show that the SymCSN is a plausible model for human-like flexible knowledge representation and inference.

We present a framework of an intelligent design support system for embodiment design of machine tools which can support efficiently and systematically the machine design by utilizing design knowledge such as objects(part), know-how, public, evaluation, and procedures. The design knowledge of machining center has been accumulated through interview with design experts of machine tool companies. The processes of embodiment design of machining center are established. We also introduce a hybrid knowledge representation so that the systm can easily deal with various and complicated design knowledge. The intelligent design system is being developed on the basis of object-oriented programming, and all parts of a design object, machining center, are also classified by the object-oriented modeling. For the demonstration of effectiveness of the suggested system, a structural design system for machine tools is implemented.

This paper describes an effective knowledge acquisition method in the fault diagnosis expert system for the electronic switching system TDX-1A. The knowledge acquisition procedure consists of the knowledge collection, the fault diagnosis modeling and the knowledge representation. Furthermore, to improve the performance of the knowledge bases with rule and frame representation, we showed the knowledge base checking methodlogy by using redundancy and inconsistency check algorithm.

It is tremendously important to construct decision trees to use as a tool for knowledge representation from a given decision table. However, the usual algorithms may split the decision table based on each value, which is not efficient for numerical attributes. The methodology of this paper is to split the given decision table into binary groups as like the CART algorithm, that uses binary split to work for both categorical and numerical attributes. The difference is that it uses split for each attribute established by the directed acyclic graph in a dynamic programming fashion whereas, the CART uses binary split among all considered attributes in a greedy fashion. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of binary splits in comparison with each value splits when building the decision trees. Such effect can be studied by comparing the number of nodes, local and global misclassification rate among the constructed decision trees based on three proposed algorithms.

Among many design processes such as learning, storing, retrieving and applying, the process that learns design knowledge is very important for producing creative results that solve design purposes in design computations. The computer should have the ability similar to human in learning design knowledge. It should recognize not only physical properties but also high level design knowledge constructed from the first level physical properties. The high level design knowledge are recognised in terms of isometric translation relationships. This paper explains properties of isometric translation and methods how the computer can recognize high level shape design knowledge using shape pattern representation.

Intelligent systems are systems that mainly use knowledge rather than data or information. Therefore, knowledge representation is an important factor for intelligent system construction. Conceptual graph is a logical knowledge representation language which has graphical form and it can represent knowledge efficiently. It is, however, cumbersome to use conceptual graphs directly for programming. Various tools were developed to overcome this difficulties. In this paper, we survey on functions and characteristics of conceptual graph tools that can be utilized for constructing intelligent systems by using conceptual graphs. The result of this survey will be very helpful to use conceptual graphs for development of intelligent systems.

When using computer-supported collaborative learning(CSCL) tool where learners with different perspective are discussing in the same place, it is difficult to catch connection between specific position of learning content and written message by learners, share each other knowledge and opinion. This study investigated the phenomena responsible for causing "Un-shared knowledge" by literature research and designed collaborative representation tool based on described principle. A version of the Mediated annotation tool was developed for each problem identified and was subsequently tested by software evaluation standard and F.G.I. Final mediated tool will contribute to overcome knowledge sharing barriers, facilitate communication among students and describe high quality solution.

This paper proposes a qualitative reasoning approach for the spatial configuration of mechanisms that could be applied in the early phase of the conceptual design. The spatial configuration problem addressed in this paper involves the relative direction and position between the input and output motion, and the orientation of the constituent primitive mechanisms of a mechanism. The knowledge of spatial configuration of a primitive mechanism is represented in a matrix form called spatial configuration matrix. This matrix provides a compact and convenient representation scheme for the spatial knowledge, and facilitates the manipulation of the relevant spatial knowledge. Using this spatial knowledge of the constituent primitive mechanisms, the overall configuration of a mechanism is described and identified by a spatial configuration state matrix. This matrix is obtained by using a qualitative reasoning method based on sign algebra and is used to represent the qualitative behavior of the mechanism. The matrix-based representation scheme allows handling the involved spatial knowledge simultaneously and the proposed reasoning method enables the designer to predict the spatial behavior of a mechanism without knowing specific dimension of the components of the mechanism.

To develop a cognitive system with the flexibility and breadth of human, it's very important to construct a large scale knowledge base which include commonsense knowledge as well as expert knowledge. Efficient knowledge representation and reasoning techniques will play a key role for this. This paper introduce a cognitive system which is based on Cyc knowledge base and augmented with our work on qualitative and spatial representation and reasoning. Our system has been implemented and tested on various examples.
