Title
Cooperative Hybrid Systems
Abstract
Recently there has been much criticism in the AI community that knowledge based systems are not situated. We argue that trying to provide for situatedness in a conventional system will lead to the so called model explosion cycle and that for most application environments adaptivity is needed for situated behavior. Cooperative systems are a solution to the model explosion cycle where adaptivity is delegated to the user. A hybrid symbolic/connectionist system offers self tuning capabilities (and therefore adaptivity) but can't cope with the model explosion cycle. Integrating both approaches into a cooperative hybrid system leads to a much more situated behavior than conventional systems can achieve. Our approach is illustrated using a real-life expert system in the domain of technical troubleshooting. Ongoing practical tests indicate that a cooperative hybrid design presents an attractive architecture for knowledge based systems.
