Validating heterogeneous and competing knowledge bases using a black-box approach

摘要

This paper provides a framework and case study for the validation of heterogeneous and competing knowledge bases. The framework is a black-box model, based on test data. The case study derives from the domain of financial planning. Section 1 presents an introduction to the paper and some definitions. Section 2 summarizes the application from the financial planning domain. Section 3 provides a framework for validating heterogeneous and competing knowledge bases using a black-box approach. Section 4 discusses the generation of test problems to facilitate the validation of the heterogeneous and competing systems. Section 5 summarizes the systems that are investigated. Section 6 analyzes the results. Section 7 briefly summarizes the paper and discusses the contributions.
