Abstract
Philosophically, the study of expert networks stems from a desire to capitalize on the major strengths of both expert systems and neural networks. The major thrust of this type of hybrid system is to synthesize the capability of expert systems to capture expert domain knowledge in an inference-based system with the power of black-box neural networks trained from example data.
