Explanation-based decision support in real time situations
D. Charles Hair, Kent Pickslay, S. Chow · 2003
In US Navy command and control systems there are increasing problems with situations in which human technicians must make quick decisions based on uncertain information. The SABER tool is being developed to use an explanation-based reasoning approach to assist in making such decisions. Explanation-based reasoning is modeled after an explanation-based decision-making process through which people are believed to perform some decision-making tasks. SABER constructs and evaluates alternative explanations to account for input data that may be incomplete or inconsistent. The explanations are evaluated according to three criteria: simplicity, completeness, and significance.>
