Early detection of breast cancer is a primary goal in cancer imaging and it is important to identify tumors at an early stage of growth to identify their type. Standard x-ray mammography does not always provide adequate diagnosis; e.g., in cases such as dense or radiation-scarred breasts, and often does not identify tumor presence until significant growth has occurred. Alternative methods are bei ...

The goal of this proposed research is to prove the feasibility of a software solution to provide intelligent tutoring for the REGIS Training Center. Because students often learn best by example, we intend to design a tutoring system around example problems. We will apply the Artificial Intelligence (AI) technique of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) to elicit and represent the example problems (or cases) ...

In Phase I, we will investigate a case-based reasoning (CBR) approach to intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) and explore the feasibility of semi-automated/automated course authoring techniques to speed collection and structuring of domain knowledge. We will develop a prototype example-based ITS, enhanced with multimedia, within a specific Navy instructional domain and a generic ITS architec ...

Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) have shown great promise in military training domains and can achieve many of the same benefits as one-on-one instruction, in a cost-effective manner. However, the key to the effectiveness of this instruction is the successful transition of laboratory systems to real-world domains and the extent of the technical knowledge the system contains. Traditional appro ...

In Phase I, we will investigate a case-based reasoning (CBR) approach to Operator Assessment and Operator Machine Interface Enhancement and explore the feasibility of semi-automated/automated domain knowledge entry techniques to speed collection and structuring of domain knowledge. We will develop a prototype case-based Operator Assessment and Operator Machine Interface Enhancement System (O ...

The ultimate aim of this research is to develop a computer system to aid in producing accurate parts obsolescence predictions. This can be accomplished through the automated use of previous experience, which consists of information on existing parts. The feasibility of an automated system which uses existing components as cases to aid the obsolescence prediction for a current part will be demonstr ...
