An Expert System to Aid in Staff Selection: A Neural Network Approach

Abstract

One of the fastest growing areas of microcomputer applications is that of expert systems. Within the domain of expert systems neural networking technology is also making a strong contribution. Personnel officers have to give advice to management and this is usually based on a good deal of experience. Expert systems represent a way of passing on this knowledge to less experienced colleagues so that they too can make suitable decisions if the more experienced staff are not available. Sometimes expert systems can surprise the experts who provided information to help build the systems. This article looks at a neural networking shell that can be trained to emulate an expert system. Its simplicity of operation and user friendliness is a striking feature.
