Abstract

AMPLIA supports training of diagnostic reasoning and modelling of domains with complex and uncertain knowledge. It focuses on the medical area, and it helps a learner to create a Bayesian network for a certain problem. A pedagogic negotiation process (managed by an intelligent Mediator Agent) aids handle the differences of topology and probability distribution between the model the learner built and the one built-in in the system. The negotiation process occurs between the agents that represent the expert knowledge domain and the agent that represents the learner knowledge. As a consequence, the learner visualises the organisation of his/her ideas, creates and tests hypothesis, and discuss them with the system .
