Overview

Generations of Protégé systems at SMI

Protégé/2000

Knowledge-base development with Protégé/2000

Building knowledge bases: The Protégé methodology

Protégé/2000 Ontology-editing tab

Generation of usable domain-specific KA tools

Some Advances in Protégé/2000

Protégé-2000 adopts the OKBC knowledge model

The race to develop plug-ins

Swapping components

Protégé-2000 plug-ins

But how do we know we’re making progress?

Sisyphus experiments

What is needed

We found a captive audience in Kansas ...

What the rest of the talk is about

High-performance knowledge bases (HPKB) program

Two challenge problems

Why does SMI care about HPKB

Evaluating artificial-intelligence systems

Designing an experiment

Knowledge-acquisition experiment

The problem

Large-scale changes in military doctrine

Domain experts need to interact with knowledge bases

Specific goals for the experiment

Domain: Opposing-force unit organization

Information represented in the knowledge base

Protégé-2000

HPKB tab

Purpose of the experiment

Experiment methodology

Experiment time line

Tasks

Example of a task (task 4)

Preparing for evaluation

Evaluation criteria

Evaluating quality of knowledge entry

Knowledge-acquisition rate (Days 1-3)

KA rate improves substantially with learning

Knowledge base verification: finding errors

Quality of knowledge entry: wrong steps versus correct steps

Removing the “hangover effect”

Task 6: enter a large amount of data

Error recovery rate

Creating new classes

Retention of skills experiment: knowledge-acquisition rate

Retention of skills experiment

User satisfaction

Testing the hypothesis: Protégé-2000 versus HPKB tab
