Diagrammatic Reasoning in AI : Wiley?Blackwell : 9780470331873 : 0470331879 : 08 Dec 2009 : PIONEERING WORK SHOWS HOW USING DIAGRAMS FACILITATES THE DESIGN OF BETTER AI SYSTEMS The publication of Diagrammatic Reasoning in AI marks an important milestone for anyone seeking to design graphical user interfaces to support decision-making and problem-solving tasks. The author expertly demonstrates how diagrammatic representations can simplify our interaction with increasingly complex information technologies and computer-based information systems. In particular, the book emphasizes how diagrammatic user interfaces can help us better understand and visualize artificial intelligence (AI) systems. It examines how diagrammatic reasoning enhances various AI programming strategies used to emulate human thinking and problem-solving, including: Expert systems Model-based reasoning Inexact reasoning such as certainty factors and Bayesian networks Logic reasoning A key part of the book is its ext
