DESIGN OF AN ONLINE EXPERT SYSTEM FOR CAREER GUIDANCE

Abstract

This paper focuses on the construction of an online Expert System which guides the students for the selection of their undergraduate courses after the completion of higher secondary school education. The system is online in the sense that it will provide up-to-date information to the students. The proposed system takes the necessary details from the user (student) as input. The system will have the knowledge-base which contains the details about the colleges in Pondicherry. This information is acquired from web pages using pattern matching and jSoup parsing technique and the knowledge-base is constructed automatically without manual efforts. Rules are framed and an inference engine is developed which makes the Expert System. The constructed knowledge-base can be queried with domain related queries and the Expert System provides the most relevant details for the query.
