Re: JESS: Explanation Factiltiy (How and Why)

[David G]

Dan,

I've built a number of systems with expalanation facilities before. A key issue is how to get explanations from the system WITHOUT building a mirror system to offer exaplanations (which is trivial).

Subject: JESS: Explanation Factiltiy (How and Why)

For a project of mine I am attempting to implement an explanation
facility for the expert system that I am building using Jess 6.0.
Being a complete beginner in this domain I am after some information, if
anyone can hep me.
The way I understand it is this: during a session on the expert system,
the user will go through the questions/rules, which at the moment are
just yes or no answers, the user may want to ask How? or Why? The expert
system then answers the user by way of some message e.g. because rules
x, y and z are true and rule b is false.
So:
1. Am I looking at this completely wrong?
2. If I am wrong then how does this kind of operation work?
3. If I'm correct then how do I implement such a function in jess?

Responses and help are very much appreciated in advance.
Thanks
Daniel
