We developed a methodology of rule acquisition from texts such as Web pages which utilizes ontology in identification of rule components. We expect that the proposed methodology can reduce the bottleneck of rule acquisition and contribute to the utilization of rule based systems. As parts of our research, we designed an ontology for rule acquisition named OntoRule and proposed a rule acquisition methodology through OntoXRML which is an acquisition tool using OntoRule. Also, we evaluated our approach by calculating missed recommendations and wrong recommendations of rule components in rule acquisition experiments over three online bookstores.

With the growth of internet shopping malls, there is increasing interest in comparison shopping mall. However most comparison sites compare only book prices by collecting simple XML data and do not provide .the exact comparison Including precise shipping costs. Shipping costs vary depending on each customer's address, the delivery method, and the category of selected goods, so rule based system is required in order to calculate exact shipping costs. Therefore, we designed and implemented comparison shopping mall which compares not only book prices but also shipping costs using rule based inference. By adopting the extensible Rule Markup language (XRML) approach, we proposed the methodology of extracting delivery rules from Web pages of each shopping mall. The XRML approach can facilitate nearly automatic rule extraction from Web pages and consistency maintenance between Web pages and rule base. We developed a ConsiderD system which applies our rule acquisition methodology based on XRML. The objective of the ConsiderD system is to compare the exact total cost of books including the delivery cost over Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and Powells.com. With this prototype, we conducted an experiment to show the potential of automatic rule acquisition from Web pages and illustrate the effect of delivery cost.

To enhance the rule-based reasoning capability of Semantic Web, the XRML (eXtensible Rule Markup Language) approach embraces the meta-information necessary for the extraction of explicit rules from Web pages and its maintenance. To effectuate the automatic identification of rules from unstructured texts, this research develops a framework of using rule ontology. The ontology can be acquired from a similar site first, and then can be used for multiple sites in the same domain. The procedure of ontology-based rule identification is regarded as a graph search problem with incomplete nodes, and an A* algorithm is devised to solve the problem. The procedure is demonstrated with the domain of shipping rates and return policy comparison portal, which needs rule based reasoning capability to answer the customer's inquiries. An example ontology is created from Amazon.com, and is applied to the many online retailers in the same domain. The experimental result shows a high performance of this approach.

We investigate optimal and suboptimal decision rules for parallel code acquisition in chip asynchronous direct-sequence spread-spectrum systems. The conventional decision rule for parallel acquisition is to choose the largest correlator output of a receiver. However, such a scheme is optimum only for chip synchronous models. In this paper, an optimal decision rule is derived based on the maximum-likehood criterion for chip asynchronous models. A simpler suboptimal decision rule is also discussed. The performance of the optimum and suboptimum decision rules is compared to that of the conventional decision rule. Numerical results show that, for chip asynchronous models, both the optimal and suboptimal decision rules outperform the conventional decision rule.

시맨틱 웹 관련연구가 증가함에 따라 지능형 에이전트 혹은 규칙기반 시스템 등의 지능적인 웹 환경에 대한 기대 역시 커지고 있다. 그러나 규칙기반 시스템의 활용에는 아직도 규칙습득이 많은 제약이 되고 있다. 이와 같은 제약을 극복하기 위해 웹 페이지로부터 규칙을 습득하기 위한 XRML 방법론이 제안되었다. XRML 방법론은 웹 페이지로부터 규칙을 식별하고 식별된 결과로부터 자동으로 규칙을 생성하는 두 단계로 구성되어 있다. 여기서 규칙의 식별은 규칙생성의 자동화 정도에 매우 중요한 영향을 미친다. 그러나 규칙을 식별하는 작업은 대부분 지식관리자의 수작업에 의존하고 있다. 이러한 지식관리자의 부담을 줄이기 위해 본 논문에서는 온톨로지 기반의 개선된 규칙식별 방법론을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 먼저 OntoRule이라는 이름의 온톨로지를 설계하였다. OntoRule은 자동화된 규칙 식별을 지원하기 위해 사용되며, 규칙의 구성요소들과 구조에 대한 정보를 포함하고 있다. 그리고 OntoRule을 이용하여 규칙을 식별하는 절하를 제안하였다. OntoRule과 규칙식별 절차를 제안하는 과정에서 온톨로지 학습효과, 하향식 접근방식과 상향식 접근방식의 차이, 온톨로지 적용범위 관리, 규칙 구성요소의 식별순서, 생략된 별수의 식별과 같은 놈점들이 고려되었다. 마지막으로 실험을 통해 제안된 방법론의 효과를 보였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of training and use of worked-example on chemical problem-solving learning. Schema acquisition and rule automation are the basic components of skilled problem-solving, which are dependent on appropriately focused attention and sufficient cognitive resources. Training and use of worked-example facilitate schema acquisition and rule automation, so improve problem-solving learning. The subjects of this study were 60 high school students. The average age was 17 years old. Then, they were randomly assigned to each groups and the chemical reaction problems used as experimental materials. The independent variables of this study were training and use of worked-examples and dependent variables were time for solution and the number of error. The results of this study were as follows; 1. The worked-example groups spent significantly less time on solution for acquisition problems than the conventional problem groups. 2. The long-acquisition groups spent significantly less time on solution for acquisition problems than the short-acquisition groups. 3. The modified worked-example groups did not spend significantly less time on solution for acquisition problems than the worked-example groups.

An expert system executes the inference, based on the knowledge of specific domain. the reliability on the results of inference depends upon both the consistency and accuracy of knowledge. This is the reason why expert system requires the facilities which can practice an access to the various kinds of knowledge and maintain the consistency and accuracy of knowledge an maintain the consistency and accuracy of knowledge. This paper is to implement an expert system permitting an access of declarative and procedural knowledge in the knowledge base and in the data base. This paper is also to implement a knowledge acquisition system which adds the knowledge a only if its accuracy and consistency are maintained, after verifying the potential errors such as contradiction, redundancy, circulation, non-reachable rule and non-lined rule. In consequence, the expert system realizes a good access to the various sorts of knowledge and increases the reliability on the results of inference. The knowledge acquisition system contributes tro strengthening man-machine interface that enables users to add the knowledge easily to the knowledge base.

While the rules for an expert system are obtained through the interviewing with domain experts or by designer's own experience, these are not adequate for fuzzy controllers dealing quantitative control values. In this paper, by considering a state of the controlled system as a pattern, we propose a method to obtain the control rules by a statistical method. Namely, we propose a method to obtain the control rules by a statistical method. Namely, we propose an rule acquisition method that is objective, mechanical, and inductive inference using a cluster-seeking algorithm, or K-means clustering algorithm. To validate this study, we show an example of an IRIS control in a CAMCODER and analyse the rules acquired from 98 sample patterns consisting of 45 features.

Aero-engine, as one kind of rotating machinery with complex structure and high rotating speed, has complicated vibration faults. Therefore, condition monitoring and fault diagnosis system is very important for airplane security. In this paper, a vibration data acquisition and intelligent fault diagnosis system is introduced. First, the vibration data acquisition part is described in detail. This part consists of hardware acquisition modules and software analysis modules which can realize real-time data acquisition and analysis, off-line data analysis, trend analysis, fault simulation and graphical result display. The acquisition vibration data are prepared for the following intelligent fault diagnosis. Secondly, two advanced artificial intelligent(AI) methods, mapping-based and rule-based, are discussed. One is artificial neural network(ANN) which is an ideal tool for aero-engine fault diagnosis and has strong ability to learn complex nonlinear functions. The other is data mining, another AI method, has advantages of discovering knowledge from massive data and automatically extracting diagnostic rules. Thirdly, lots of historical data are used for training the ANN and extracting rules by data mining. Then, real-time data are input into the trained ANN for mapping-based fault diagnosis. At the same time, extracted rules are revised by expert experience and used for rule-based fault diagnosis. From the results of the experiments, the conclusion is obvious that both the two AI methods are effective on aero-engine vibration fault diagnosis, while each of them has its individual quality. The whole system can be developed in local vibration monitoring and real-time fault diagnosis for aero-engine.
