Decision Under Uncertainty in Diagnosis
This work addresses uncertainty in diagnostic systems for AI applications, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing models without introducing a new paradigm.
The paper tackles the problem of incorporating uncertainty into diagnostic reasoning by extending the set covering model, advocating for a strong underlying model and integrated support tools to handle uncertainty effectively.
This paper describes the incorporation of uncertainty in diagnostic reasoning based on the set covering model of Reggia et. al. extended to what in the Artificial Intelligence dichotomy between deep and compiled (shallow, surface) knowledge based diagnosis may be viewed as the generic form at the compiled end of the spectrum. A major undercurrent in this is advocating the need for a strong underlying model and an integrated set of support tools for carrying such a model in order to deal with uncertainty.
