摘要
The objective of this article is to describe the MILORD Shell and particularly its architecture and its management of uncertainty. MILORD is an expert systems building tool consisting of two inference engines and an explanation module. The system allows one to perform different calculi of uncertainty on an expert defined set of linguistic terms expressing uncertainty. Each calculus corresponds to specific conjunction, disjunction, and implication operators. The internal representation of each linguistic uncertainty value is a fuzzy subset of the interval [0,1]. The different calculi of uncertainty applied to the set of linguistic terms give, as a result, a fuzzy subset that is approximated, by means of a linguistic approximation process, to a linguistic certainty value belonging to the set of linguistic terms. This linguistic approximation keeps the calculus of uncertainty closed. An application to the diagnosis and treatment of pneumoniae is presented.
