The use of nodes with many internal states has made it possible to make a conceptually simple and compact representation of knowledge. \"Deep knowledge\" in the form of pathophysiological models are used to reduce the problem of estimating thousands of conditional probabilities to a rnanageble size. The network has built-in mechanisms that will detect when the network is confronted with a situation outside the limits of its own knowledge and it handles conflicting evidence in a simple and consistent way.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/76","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/0076.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/76.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/bibtex/76","volume":{"slug":"1987","title":"Proceedings of the Tenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1987","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/","year":1987,"location":"Milan, Italy","dates":"","editors":"John McDermott","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Knowledge Representation","track":"Knowledge Representation","number":76,"pages":{"first":366,"last":371},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"Andersen, S.K., Andreassen, S., Woldbye, M., \"Knowledge Representation for Diagnosis and Test Planning in the Domain of Electromyography.\" Proc. 7th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Brighton, UK, 1986, pp 357-368.","title":"Knowledge Representation for Diagnosis and Test Planning in the Domain of Electromyography","authors":"S K Andersen, S Andreassen, M Woldbye","year":"1986","venue":"Proc. 7th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence","doi":null,"url":null,"internal_url":null},{"position":2,"raw":"Andreassen, S., Andersen, S.K., Woldbye, M., \"An Expert System for Electromyography.\" Proc. of Novel Approaches to the Study of Motor Systems, Banff, Alberta, Canada, 1986, pp 2-3.","title":"An Expert System for Electromyography","authors":"S Andreassen, S K Andersen, M Woldbye","year":"1986","venue":"Proc. of Novel Approaches to the Study of Motor Systems","doi":null,"url":null,"internal_url":null},{"position":3,"raw":"Kim, J.H. and Pearl, J. \"A Computational Model for Causal and Diagnostic Reasoning in Inference Systems.\" Proc 8th Joint International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Karlsruhe, West Germany, 1983, pp 190-193.","title":"A Computational Model for Causal and Diagnostic Reasoning in Inference Systems","authors":"J H Kim, J Pearl","year":"1983","venue":"Proc 8th Joint International Conference on Artificial Intelligence","doi":null,"url":null,"internal_url":"/proceedings/1983/45"},{"position":4,"raw":"Jensen, F.V., Andersen, S.K., Kjrerulff, U., Andreassen, S. \"A Causal Network Prototype in the Domain of Electromyography -Which Functionality can be Achieved by Using a Probabilistic Approach?\" Research Report R-87-8, Institute of Electronic Systems, Aalborg University, Denmark. 1987.","title":"A Causal Network Prototype in the Domain of Electromyography -Which Functionality can be Achieved by Using a Probabilistic Approach?","authors":"F V Jensen, S K Andersen, U Kjrerulff, S Andreassen","year":"1987","venue":null,"doi":null,"url":null,"internal_url":null},{"position":5,"raw":"Pearl, J. \"Fusion, Propagation, and Structuring in Belief Networks.\" Artificial Intelligence, 29, 1986, pp 241-288.","title":"Fusion, Propagation, and Structuring in Belief Networks","authors":"J Pearl","year":"1986","venue":"Artificial Intelligence","doi":null,"url":null,"internal_url":null},{"position":6,"raw":"Szolovits, P.
