The second part starts with an account of a system built by the author in collaboration with Peter Mott, describing particularly how the problem was addressed by this system; subsequent chapters will describe the development of a further system, in which the analysis developed in the first section will be applied.

<p>I am grateful to Vernon Pratt for helping me clarify the consequences that this doctrine has for the concepts of ‘theory’ and ‘belief’. lf it is the case that there is no access to a ‘real world’, then all statements about the nature of the world are of equal - undifferentiable - validity (except in so far as some aesthetic criteria may be applied to them). It remains possible to differentiate between a belief - an unsupported statement about the nature of the world - and a theory: a statement that the world has some property as a consequence of certain other properties which it may have. However, it seems to me that this distinction is of little practical importance.</p> <p>I am grateful to Vernon Pratt for helping me clarify the consequences that this doctrine has for the concepts of ‘theory’ and ‘belief’. lf it is the case that there is no access to a ‘real world’, then all statements about the nature of the world are of equal - undifferentiable - validity (except in so far as some aesthetic criteria may be applied to them).

<p>Arboretum was written in InterLisp-D[4] using LOOPS [5] object oriented facilities, to allow people to manipulate DTree structures through graphical representations: to build arbitrarily large knowledge bases, to use these to provide answers to questions about objects in domains admitting incomplete information - and to provide natural language explanations of these answers. The inference process by which answers are produced is shown as an animated graph. The user can ask the system how the value of any particular feature was arrived at, and what that value was. . It was developed for the Alvey DHSS Large Demonstrator Project, and sought to meet early perceptions of the needs of DHSS Adjudication Officers. Adjudication Officers decide claimants’ eligibility over a wide range of welfare benefits. There is a very large volume of work to be done, so they work under considerable pressure.</p> <p>Arboretum was written in InterLisp-D[4] using LOOPS [5] object oriented facilities, to allow people to manipulate DTree structures through graphical representations: to build arbitrarily large knowledge bases, to use these to provide answers to questions about objects in domains admitting incomplete information - and to provide natural language explanations of these answers.

<p>It was something of tradition in the InterLisp-D community to give successive versions of a project codenames with successive alphabetical initials. So the first version would have a name starting ‘A’, the second ‘B’, and so on. The first prototype for Wildwood was called ‘Arden’, because it starts with an ‘A’, and because it is a fantastical dream-like forest depicted in Shakespeare’s play ‘As You Like It’, which if I recall correctly was performed as a promenade performance by the Duke’s Theatre in Lancaster in that year.

<p>{ new chapter, beginning a sequence which argues that the purpose of argument is to achieve hegemony, not find truth. In this chapter we’ll cover the sources we’ve used already, and show that the philosophers of science, whatever they claim about the purpose of argument, actually argue in a highly polemical, persuasive manner, seeking to achieve widespread belief of their chosen position - that is, to achieve hegemony; and further, even those who make strong claims to the value of candour are frequently not candid in their own argument }</p></div></div></div></body></html>

<p>The object of this chapter is to describe and discuss the development of Expert System explanations from the beginning’ to the most recent systems. The argument which I will try to advance is that development has been continuously driven by the perceived inadequacy of the explanations given; and that, while many ad hoc, and some principled, approaches have been tried, no really adequate explanation system has emerged. Further, I will claim that, as some of the later and more principled explanation systems accurately model the accounts of explanation advanced in current philosophy, the philosophical understanding of explanation is itself inadequate.</p> <p>The object of this chapter is to describe and discuss the development of Expert System explanations from the beginning’ to the most recent systems.

<p>Thus the expected use of KnacqTools was not to run an inference process itself (although of course it could do this), but to allow a knowledge engineer, using Peter Mott’s ‘elicitation by exception’ technique, which I and others had polished in the field, to enter DTrees elicited from domain experts, compile these DTrees into production rules, and export those prodution rules to the selected expert system package for deployment.</p> <p>Thus the expected use of KnacqTools was not to run an inference process itself (although of course it could do this), but to allow a knowledge engineer, using Peter Mott’s ‘elicitation by exception’ technique, which I and others had polished in the field, to enter DTrees elicited from domain experts, compile these DTrees into production rules, and export those prodution rules to the selected expert system package for deployment.</p>
