QuestionAnswer
Knowledge management (KM) range of practices concerned w/increasing awareness, learning, speeding collaboration,innovation,•orgs use 2 enable individuals, teams, &entire organizations 2 collectively &systematically create, share, &apply knowledge to achieve objectives
Explicit knowledge Objective •Can be measured and documented in reports, papers, and rules
Tacit knowledge Hard to measure and document •Typically not objective or formalized, personal knowledge that is embedded in individual experience•Examples: leadership, emotional intelligence, intuition...
Two processes used to capture tacit knowledge: 1.Shadowing(apprentice shadows master)2.Joint problem solving(Apprentice works side by side with master)

What are the fundamental components of an expert system and what function does each perform?

An expert system generally consists of four components: a knowledge base, the search or inference system, a knowledge acquisition system, and the user interface or communication system. Knowledge systems solve difficult problems of the real woorld by performing inference processes on explicitly stated knowledge.

Which component of the expert system deals with uncertainty of the data?

Fuzzy logic is a method of choice for handling uncertainty in some expert systems.

What type of system can process many pieces of data at the same time and learn to recognize patterns?

Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. It is a branch of artificial intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention.

Is to seek information and relationships from the knowledge base and to provide answers predictions and suggestions similar to the way a human expert would?

Inference Engine Seeks information and relationships from the knowledge base and provides answers, predictions, and suggestions in the way a human expert would.
