Rule-Based Understanding of Signals

Abstract

SU/X and SU/P are knowledge-based programs which employ pattern- invoked inference methods. Both tasks are concerned with the interpretation of large quantities of digitized signal data. The task of SU/X is to understand continuous signals, that is, signals which persist over time. The task of SU/P is to interpret protein x-ray crystallographic data. Some features of the design are: (1) incremental interpretation of data employing many different pattern- invoked sources of knowledge; (2) production rule representation of knowledge, including high level strategy knowledge; (3) opportunistic hypothesis formation using both data-driven and model-driven techniques within a general hypothesize- and-test paradigm; and (4) multilevel representation of the solution hypothesis.
