Computer Assisted Learning

• While machine learning is generally not as good as human learning, combining the two can be very useful.
• This is intimately related to Decision Support Systems.
• A good example is some of Doug Lenat's system.
• He had a system to play the game traveller. It automatically generated rules that it felt were good. He would then look at the rules and further explore the ones he thought were good.
• He and his system won the competition twice, and they banned computers from it.
• Roughly, you can use computers to come up with lots of possible answers. You can then explore the ones you think are good.
• In class exercise, should we build a system to teach BIS 2040?
