Automatic verification of a knowledge base by using a multi-criteria group evaluation with application to security screening at an airport

作者:

Highlights:

• A new method of automatic verification of knowledge base is presented.

• The method uses a multi-criteria group evaluation of variants under uncertainty.

• Verification looks for discrepancy between the expert knowledge and knowledge base.

• Experts and automatic verification system use the half-marks in inference rules.

• Example: assessing the effectiveness of a security screening system at an airport.
