... uncertainty exists when there is more than one possible outcome to a particular course of actions, the form of each possible outcome is known, but the chance or probability of getting any one particular outcome is not known. If the probabilities of actually obtaining certain outcomes are known, then this situation is one of risk, not uncertainty. 2, record 2, English, - uncertainty

[...] deux formes d'incertitude sont distinguées : le risque, et l'incertitude proprement dite. Une situation de risque existe lorsque la valeur des variables [...] n'est pas prévisible avec précision, mais où la distribution statistique probable de l'erreur est connue. Une situation est par contre qualifiée d'incertaine lorsque même cette information manque. Le seul élément connu est que l'évaluation peut s'avérer fausse; mais on ignore tout de la direction et de l'ampleur de la divergence possible. 2, record 2, French, - incertitude

In the context of expert systems uncertainty refers to a value that cannot be determined during a consultation. Most expert systems can accommodate uncertainty. That is, they allow the user to indicate if he or she does not know the answer. In this case, the system either uses its other rules to try to establish the value by other means or relies on default values. 2, record 5, English, - uncertainty

La incertidumbre sobre una parte de los conocimientos en una área especifica puede representarse de diversas formas. La más común es asignar un número al hecho o regla; por ejemplo, 1 es la verdad absoluta, mientras que el 0 es la falsedad total y 3/4 a una probabilidad. Algunas veces se pretende que estos números representen la probabilidad de la certeza del conocimiento. Los sistemas de razonamiento deben asignar un valor de incertidumbre inferida a una parte inferida de conocimiento. 1, record 5, Spanish, - incertidumbre
