Does KEEL learn?
The term “learning” is subject to many interpretations in the cognitive domain. We would say that KEEL technology adapts, rather than learns. We would suggest that a system that learns will have to be able to automatically accept new information (inputs) that it has never seen before and automatically determine how that new information relates to and impacts all of its existing information. KEEL technology is an expert system technology that requires a human expert to define the reasoning model. The human expert must define how each input relates to all the other pieces of information and what outputs are to be created. In this way, the human expert defines how the system will adapt to changing inputs. The human expert is in control. We would suggest that a true learning system will decide, on its own, how to integrate new information sources. A human might be termed a true learning system. At birth, the human knows nothing (from a judgmental reasoning standpoint). The baby is exposed
