Some Theoretical Perspective

• Understand how the [human] brain might work
• Develop mathematical models of a brain's operation
• Incorporate methods for learning

Some Practical Perspectives

• Extensive work to develop expert systems
  • Capture and organize knowledge
  • Test, analyze, revise iteratively
• Maintenance of expert system is high
  • Manual adjustments for changes in problem
  • Manual adjustments for changes in policy
  • Extensive testing needed after each set of rule changes
