Psychological autopsy is a specialized investigative method used to analyze the circumstances surrounding equivocal deaths, particularly suicides.... this process involves a thorough review of medical autopsy reports, police documentation, personal materials left by the deceased, and interviews with friends and family. The goal is to reconstruct the deceased's psychological state and motivations leading to their death, providing insights that can aid medical examiners and law enforcement. This technique has gained traction in the field of suicidology and is utilized in various countries around the world.

A production system is a human or computer system that has a data base of production rules and some control mechanism that selects applicable production rules in an effort to reach some goal state.

CONT

A key notion in the Newell-Simon scheme is the production system, in which an operation will be carried out if a certain specific condition is met. Programs consist of long sequences of such production systems operating on the data base. As described by the theorists, the production system is kind of a computational stimulus-response link; so long as the stimuli (or conditions) are appropriate, the response (or production) will be executed. In the course of developing the General Problem Solver, Simon and Newell have propounded a perspective on artificial intelligence, a theory of thinking, and an agenda for future research.

CONT

A set of production rules (which is called a production system) can be interpreted in two distinct ways. ... One way to interpret a production system is to work through the rules one by one until a rule is found for which the condition ... is true. ... Alternatively, the production system could be "run backwards", with the rules being run from "right to left".

OBS

A production system is a rule- based system. Computer scientists also call these systems general rewrite systems. Each rule is matched to the input, and the rules that apply rewrite the input according the action part of these rules.

Many problems can be represented as an initial state, a goal state and a set of operators that define operations to go to new states from a given state. The states that can be reached from the initial state by applying the rules in all possible ways define the state space. The problem is then to reach the goal state from the initial state. By this formulation almost any problem can be reduced to a search problem.

The planning model in cognitive science treats a plan as a sequence of actions designed to accomplish some preconceived end. The model posits that action is a form of problem solving, where the actor's problem is to find a path from some initial state to a derived goal state, given certain conditions along the way.

The intelligent library, based on knowledge information processing systems, will supply intelligence among with knowledge and information. It will be active, not passive. It will conduct a dialogue with you, inferring from what you tell it what it is you really want. You can ask a question, state a goal, and by asking you questions in turn, it will infer your desires and try to meet them. It will even prompt you with connected topics you hadn’t, at that moment, thought of. It will test your hypotheses, verify your hunches, and explain until you really understand.
