Seamless Integration of Knowledge Acquisition for Autonomous Systems by Domain Users with Prudence Capability (2016 - 2017)$99,978
Description
Knowledge-based systems are typically constrained by their ability to acquire new knowledge without the intercession of a technical knowledge engineer. This introduces a fundamental disconnect between the system and the domain expert - even if a knowledge acquisition interface is provided, the domain expert is usually highly constrained in their expressiveness and ability to train the system due to technology-specific implementation.Knowledge-based systems are also currently limited in their applicability to autonomous systems. The domain expert/knowledge acquisition bottleneck in this paradigm also poses a great challenge to effectively train an autonomous system with new or modified behaviours without considerable effort and implementation change. In the autonomous system-operating environment, there is no consistent model of abstraction (of services/behaviour, information and data) that can be leveraged across different systems and domains. To address these shortcomings, we will develop an extensive, easily maintainable hierarchical Knowledge Base System (KBS) for Autonomous Systems (AS) technologies (such as drones and humanoid robots) that will be trained by Knowledge Domain Experts (KDE) using a Natural Language (NL) interface for communication. The system will implement an abstracted architecture, taking a layer-based approach to separate data and hardware, information, and services, each with an associated, contextual knowledge base. We will introduce and develop a module (termed a Curator) that will facilitate the choice (or procurement via knowledge acquisition) of behavioural and information abstractions at each layer. This will allow the AS to infer correct behaviour given high-layer service directives, in effect allowing the KDE to train a behaviour quickly and effectively when the associated contextual knowledge base lacks the knowledge to fulfil an inter-layer request.
