| Expert system | Computing | Expert system A computer program that contains a knowledge base and a set of algorithms or rules that infer new facts from knowledge and from incoming data. An expert system is an artificial intelligence application that uses a knowledge base of human expertise to aid in solving problems. The degree of problem solving is based on the quality of the data and rules obtained from the human expert. Expert systems are designed to perform at a human expert level. In practice, they will perform both well below and well above that of an individual expert. The expert system derives its answers by running the knowledge base through an inference engine, a software program that interacts with the user and processes the results from the rules and data in the knowledge base. Expert systems are used in applications such as medical diagnosis, equipment repair, investment analysis, financial, estate and insurance planning, route scheduling for delivery vehicles, contract bidding, counseling for self-service customers, production control and training.

| Expert system | Military | Typically a set of rules or a decision tree which aids an individual to make good decisions in an area where that individual is not an expert. Usually, subject matter experts are interviewed by the software developers to determine the steps the expert would use to make a particular decision. Sometimes experts are followed by note-taking observers as the experts go about formulating decisions. This often reveals that the expert was not aware of all the steps and questions used.

| Expert System | Space | A software system which intelligently interprets data using a body of built-in knowledge or judgment rules incorporated into an inference-making structure. (references) | |
| Expert system (ES) | Art | A computer application or system based on artificial intelligence, designed to replicate the ability of a human expert to solve a problem or perform a specific task or sequence of tasks, for example, financial analysis and forecasting. Expert systems require a knowledge base, a facts base, and a rules base. In the plural, the term refers to the science of creating such systems. (references) | |
| Expert system (ES) | Business | A computer system that facilitates solving problems in a given field or application by drawing inference from a knowledge base developed from human expertise. Note 1: The term "expert system " is sometimes used synonymously with "knowledge-based system," although it is usually taken to emphasize expert knowledge. Note 2: Some expert systems are able to improve their knowledge base and develop new inference rules based on their experience with previous problems. (references) | |
