Abstract
Knowledge deficiency of an expert system ( ) is alleviated by automating extraction of data that is relevant to the expert system's diagnostics knowledge database ( ) and automatically and in an on-going manner updating the knowledge database with the extracted information. Evolving diagnostic knowledge in a domain is represented in the form of semi-structured natural-language reports ( ). A computer-implemented tool ( ) analyzes ( ) a report to determine its kind, and then employs ( ) an intelligent filter ( ) corresponding to that kind of report to parse ( ) the report's sections, to extract ( ) data therefrom, and to perform consistency checks ( ) between sections on the extracted data. The computer then assembles ( ) the extracted data into database records and includes ( ) them in the knowledge database.
