빠른 웹 정보의 변화에 잘 대응하기 위해서는, 사실과 지식이 실제로 유효한 시간과 장소들도 함께 표현하고 그들 간의 관계도 추론할 수 있도록 웹 기술의 확장이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 그동안 소규모 지식 베이스를 이용한 실험실 수준의 정성 시간 추론 연구들에서 벗어나, 웹 스케일의 대규모 지식 베이스를 추론할 수 있는 병렬 정성 시간 추론기인 MRQUTER의 설계와 구현을 소개한다. Hadoop 클러스터 시스템과 MapReduce 병렬 프로그래밍 프레임워크를 이용해 개발된 MRQUTER에서는 정성 시간 추론 과정을 인코딩 및 디코딩 작업, 역 관계 및 동일 관계 추론 작업, 이행 관계 추론 작업, 관계 정제 작업 등 몇 개의 MapReduce 작업으로 나누고, 맵 함수와 리듀스 함수로 구현되는 각각의 단위 추론 작업을 효율화하기 위한 최적화 기술들을 적용하였다. 대규모 벤치마킹 시간 지식 베이스를 이용한 실험을 통해, MRQUTER의 높은 추론 성능과 확장성을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a new temporal reasoning scheme based on explicit expression of time intervals. The proposed scheme deals with the general problem of temporal knowledge representation and temporal reasoning and may be used in rule-based systems and qualitative models. Time intervals, not time points, are defined in terms of orders and/or numbers in a quantity space. As a result, the system behavior is represented in the form of partially ordered networks. Such explicit and qualitative description of temporal quantities enables both reduction of ambiguity and parsimonious used of temporal information. Based on the proposed temporal reasoning scheme, a new rule-based qualitative simulation system is being built and evaluated.

After much research on qualitative reasoning, the problem of ambiguities still hampers the practicality of this important AI tool. In this paper, the sources of ambiguities are examined in depth with a systems engineering point of view and possible directions to disambiguation are suggested. This includes some modeling strategies and an architecture of temporal inference for building unambiguous qualitative models of practical complexity. It is argued that knowledge of multiple levels in abstraction hierarchy must be reflected in the modeling to resolve ambiguities by introducing the designer's decisions. The inference engine must be able to integrate two different types of temporal knowledge representation to determine the partial ordering of future events. As an independent quantity management system that supports the suggested modeling approach, LIQUIDS(Linear Quantity-Information Deriving System) is described. The inference scheme can be conjoined with ordinary rule-based reasoning systems and hence generalized into many different domains.

The diagrammatic language for pathways is widely used for representing systems knowledge as a network of causal relations. Biologists infer and hypothesize with pathways to design experiments and verify models, and to identify potential drug targets. Although there have been many approaches to formalize pathways to simulate a system, reasoning with incomplete and high level knowledge has not been possible. We present a qualitative formalization of a pathway language with incomplete causal descriptions and its translation into propositional temporal logic to automate the reasoning process. Such automation accelerates the identification of drug targets in pathways.

FCM(Fuzzy Cognitive Map) is a fuzzy signed directed graph for representing causal reasoning which has fuzziness between causal concepts. Authors have already proposed FCM-based fault diagnostic scheme and verified its usefulness. However, the previously proposed scheme has the problem of lower diagnostic resolution as in the case of other qualitative approaches. In order to improve the diagnostic resolution, a concept of fuzzy number is introduced into the basic FCM-based fault diagnostic algorithm. By incorporation the fuzzy number into fault FCM models, quantitative information such as the transfer gain between the state variables can be effectively utilized for better diagnostic resolution. Furthermore, an enhanced TAM(Temporal Associative Memory) recall procedure and modified and modified pattern matching scheme are also proposed.
