Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
  • Knowledge Representation

Background:

  • Medical knowledge representation is complex and requires specialized expertise.
  • Existing tools for knowledge representation can be difficult for end-users to operate.
  • There is a need for intuitive tools to facilitate the integration of medical knowledge into computational systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an automatic programming tool designed for end-users in medical knowledge representation.
  • To enable medical personnel to represent ideas intuitively using an image-oriented interface.
  • To automatically generate rules in Prolog for enhancing medical knowledge bases.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a rule-generating tool (RGT) with an image-oriented interface.

  • Utilizing various media formats (picture, movie, audio, barcode) for user input.
  • Automatic generation of rules in the logic programming language Prolog.

    • Main Results:

    • The RGT successfully translates image-oriented user inputs into Prolog rules.
    • Generated rules are automatically added to a knowledge base.
    • The tool facilitates the representation of medical ideas for diverse applications.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed rule-generating tool (RGT) offers a user-friendly approach to medical knowledge representation.
    • This tool can significantly supplement the expertise of medical personnel in study, diagnosis, decision-making, and treatment monitoring.
    • The automation of rule generation in Prolog streamlines the process of building and expanding medical knowledge bases.
