Abstract
This paper describes an approach to acquire qualitative and quantitative knowledge from verbally stated models in complex, probabilistic domains. This work is part of the development of an intelligent environment, MEDICUS, that supports modelling and diagnostic reasoning in the domains of environmental medicine and human genetics. These domains are two yet new subdomains of medicine receiving increasing research efforts, but still consisting of largely fragile and uncertain knowledge. In MEDICUS, uncertainty is handled by the Bayesian network approach. Thus the modelling task for the user consists of creating a Bayesian network for the problem at hand. But since we want mathematically untrained persons to work with MEDICUS, the user may alternatively state propositions verbally and let the system generate a Bayesian network proposal. This differs from existing reasoning systems based on Bayesian networks, i.e. in medical domains, which contain a built-in knowledge base that may be used but not created or modified by the user. The diagnostic reasoning task for the learner consists of using the network for stating diagnostic goals, and for proposing diagnostic hypotheses and examinations.
