{"type":"ScholarlyArticle","title":"Goal-Directed Diagnosis-Diagnostic Reasoning in Exploratory-Corrective Domains","authors":[{"name":"Ron Rymon","slug":"ron-rymon","given":"Ron","family":"Rymon","affiliation":""}],"abstract":"In many diagnosis-and-repair domains, diagnostic reasoning cannot be abstracted from repair actions, nor from actions necessary to obtain diagnostic information. In general, in exploratory-corrective domains an agent has to interleave exploratory activity with activity aimed at achieving its goals. In TraumAID 2.0, a consultation system for multiple trauma management, we implement a reasoning framework for such domains which integrates diagnostic reasoning with planning and action. This paper presents Goal-Directed Diagnosis (GOD), a formalization of TraumAID 2.0's diagnostic reasoning. Taking the view that a diagnosis is only worthwhile to the extent that it can affect repair decisions, GOD uses goals to focus on such. Goals are also useful as a means of communicating with its accompanying planner.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/206","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/0206.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/206.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/bibtex/206","volume":{"slug":"1993","title":"Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1993","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1993/","year":1993,"location":"Chambéry, France","dates":"","editors":"Ruzena Bajcsy","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Qualitative Reasoning and Naive Physics","track":"Qualitative Reasoning and Naive Physics","number":206,"pages":{"first":1488,"last":1492},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
