StGBIO Newsletter page 19 To refine the hypothesis "machine learning techniques" is replaced by "knowledge acquisition techniques for medical expert systems". To contribute to the investigation of the above hypothesis. Zeigler and Rada are arranging a workshop of approximately 12 people. The participants have backgrounds either in modeling or AI. From the modeling side come precise definitions of a model, what components of a model are important for what purposes, and what measures can one use to assess the efficacy of a model. The AI side presents features of particular model-based, knowledge-acquiring, medical expert systems. From the AI side, Rada, KulikowkL Swartout. and Wilkins have indicated an interest in joining the workshop. Rada ('83) has applied a continuity measure to weight adjustment on probabilistic, rule-based expert systems. This has lead to the successful References Siget. C. Laska. E. Fischer.
