Pioneering work shows how using Diagrams facilitates the design of
better AI systems
The publication of "Diagrammatic Reasoning in AI" marks an
important milestone for anyone seeking to design graphical user
interfaces to support decision-making and problem-solving tasks.
The author expertly demonstrates how diagrammatic representations
can simplify our interaction with increasingly complex information
technologies and computer-based information systems. In particular,
the book emphasizes how diagrammatic user interfaces can help us
better understand and visualize artificial intelligence (AI)
systems. It examines how diagrammatic reasoning enhances various AI
programming strategies used to emulate human thinking and
problem-solving, including: Expert systemsModel-based
reasoningInexact reasoning such as certainty factors and Bayesian
networksLogic reasoning
A key part of the book is its extensive development of
applications and graphical illustrations, drawing on such fields as
the physical sciences, macroeconomics, finance, business logistics
management, and medicine. Despite such tremendous diversity of
usage, in terms of applications and diagramming notations, the book
classifies and organizes diagrams around six major themes: system
topology; sequence and flow; hierarchy and classification;
association; cause and effect; and logic reasoning. Readers will
benefit from the author's discussion of how diagrams can be more
than just a static picture or representation and how diagrams can
be a central part of an intelligent user interface, meant to be
manipulated and modified, and in some cases, utilized to infer
solutions to difficult problems.
This book is ideal for many different types of readers:
practitioners and researchers in AI and human-computer interaction;
business and computing professionals; graphic designers and
designers of graphical user interfaces; and just about anyone
interested in understanding the power of diagrams. By discovering
the many different types of diagrams and their applications in AI,
all readers will gain a deeper appreciation of diagrammatic
reasoning.
