The last step in the knowledge management value chain is

APPLY

In this technique, descriptions of past experiences of human specialists are stored in a database for later retrieval when the user encounters a situation with similar characteristics.

CBR

Expertise is thought to be the collective and individual experience of applying knowledge to the solution of problems.

FALSE

Fuzzy logic systems "learn" patterns from large quantities of data by sifting through data, searching for relationships, building models, and correcting over and over again the model's own mistakes.

FALSE

Semistructured information is all the knowledge in a firm that resides in the heads of experienced employees.

FALSE

While systems such as KWS can manage semistructured and unstructured information, enterprise-wide content management systems are designed to manage a firm's structured information.

FALSE

Which of the following is not one of the main four dimensions of knowledge described in the chapter?

Knowledge is timeless

Which of the following describes a difference between neural networks and genetic algorithms?

Neural networks are programmed to "learn."

3-D printers can produce fully functioning components, such as working batteries and LEDs.

TRUE

Both structured and unstructured documents can contain knowledge.

TRUE

Fuzzy logic can describe a particular phenomenon or process linguistically and then represent that description in a small number of flexible rules.

TRUE

Backward chaining is

a strategy for searching the rule base in an expert system that begins with a hypothesis.

Which type of intelligent agent models the behavior of consumers, stock markets, and more, by seeing them as autonomous agents that follow relatively simple rules for interaction?

agent-based modeling

Fuzzy logic is a type of

intelligent technique.

The terms used in a fuzzy logic system to describe imprecise states or conditions are referred to as

membership functions.

Virtual reality systems

provide architects, engineers, and medical workers with precise, photorealistic simulations of objects.

CAD workstations

provide engineers, designers, and factory managers with precise control over industrial design and manufacturing.
