Preferred term

expert systems  

Definition

  • Expert systems (ES), also called knowledge-based systems, are ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) computer programs with sophisticated decision-making and reasoning capabilities for limited domains of knowledge. Usually using ABDUCTION (reasoning toward an inference), they are more than smart databases because they mimic human thinking.
