expert systems are one of the key directions in the digitalization of public administration in modern Russia. They allow automating decision-making processes, analyzing large volumes of data, and increasing the efficiency of executive authorities at all levels.
general information about expert systems
expert systems (es) are intelligent information systems designed to solve complex problems that require human expert analysis. In the context of public administration, they perform the following functions:
- analysis of regulatory legal acts and identification of contradictions
- support for decision-making by officials
- automation of document flow and control activities
- prediction of socio-economic processes
- optimization of resource allocation
the application of information technologies in state and municipal management ensures more effective interaction between authorities and citizens, reduces the time for processing requests, and minimizes the human factor.
structure and components of expert systems
the most important part of an expert system is knowledge bases , models of expert behavior in a specific area of knowledge using logical inference and decision-making procedures. the architecture of such systems includes:
- knowledge base — a structured set of facts and rules
- inference engine — a mechanism for logical conclusion
- user interface — for interaction with civil servants
- explanation module — justification of decisions made
- knowledge acquisition module — for updating and expanding the base
