  • Artificial Intelligence

DEF

Identification of the decisions or operators responsible for the success or failure of achieving a goal.

DEF

In epistemic diagnosis, the task of discovering which knowledge, correct or incorrect, has been used to produce behavior, and which relevant knowledge has been overlooked. This requires the availability of a modeling language and some form of differential modeling, whereby the knowledge used by the student can be compared to that which the expert would have used. The methods used in credit/blame assignment are : model tracing, structural consistency and longitudinal consistency.

Record 5 1995-03-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
DEF

In epistemic diagnosis by direct assignment of credit or blame, a modeling method for extracting information from behavior that follows observable behavior.

CONT

The idea behind model tracing is to create a close correspondence between units of the internal model and single steps of observable behavior. The required tuning of granularity can affect the design of the interface as well as that of the internal model. In ACT theory, knowledge compilation transforms declarative knowledge into a rule format that is directly usable for performance. As a consequence, compiled problem-solving knowledge, though it is a form of knowledge, maps directly onto behavior, unlike a concept or a principle, which must be interpreted before it can manifest itself in behavior. Thus knowledge compilation is really the core principle of the model-tracing paradigm. It can summarize claims of reasoning of arbitrary complexity as more coarsely grained rules. Model tracing is, in this sense, at the border between behavioral and epistemic diagnosis.

CONT

The model-tracing method operates in the context of intelligent tutoring systems which monitor students’ problem-solving activity. In that context, the diagnostic component need not compute the student’s solution path, because it can observe what the student does, step by step.

Record 6 1994-10-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

The term "knowledge compilation" is the exact opposite of the term "knowledge decompilation". Yet both denote the passage to an improved stage of expertise.

CONT

Generative reduction can be viewed as a form of dynamic decompilation of knowledge. As such, it is intended to interpret the student's actions with inferences that support pedagogical actions of increased generality. However, when performed by on-line inferential simulations, dynamic knowledge decompilation may require the coexistence of multiple models of expertise as in WEST, with different levels of articulation, so that diagnosis involves a combination of model tracing, reconstruction and issue recognition.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

Comme le fait habituellement un professeur, l'expert doit «décompiler» sa connaissance pour expliquer le «pourquoi» et le «comment» de ses propres comportements. Le résultat d'une telle décompilation est facilement transférable de façon déclarative sur un ordinateur [...] Le processus de décompilation ne capture pas nécessairement la connaissance et le comportement expert utilisé au niveau des habiletés.

Record 8 1984-10-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metrology and Units of Measure
OBS

An instrument used for the measurement of surface roughness by the profile method giving progressive transformation of information about the profile during the mechanical traversing of a stylus along the surface to be measured. 1. Traversing of a stylus may be either continuous or intermittent. 2. The stylus of an instrument has a prescribed geometrical form and is used for tracing a profile in the process of the transformation of information.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Unités de mesure et métrologie
OBS

Instrument servant à mesurer la rugosité des surfaces par la méthode du profil et donnant une transformation progressive de l'information obtenue sur le profil, lors du palpage de la surface à mesurer par un palpeur-aiguille se déplaçant le long de la surface. 1. Le palpage peut être continu ou discontinu. 2. Le palpeur-aiguille de l'instrument a une forme géométrique déterminée et est utilisé pour suivre le profil pendant la transformation de l'information.
