An Expert System Design to Categorize Multiple Intelligence of Students

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has contributed a large number of smart applications in the development of automated system design and implementation. Intelligence is the prime quality of human beings to survive and to progress. The theory of Multiple Intelligence (MI) has significantly contributed to increase the capabilities of an individual in varied domains. In order to have exact classification of student’s capabilities, an expert system is designed which integrates domain knowledge of the theory of MI. The main objective of this paper is to classify the abilities of students to work in one of the three fields — engineering, management and science — with the help of expert system and to present the significance of expert system and its typical characteristics. The paper extends the significance of expert system by describing its basic architecture and advantages, and introduces the importance of theory of MI and its various types. Then the paper presents the expert system design to classify the capabilities of students. The proposed approach is a novel one that implements the theory of MI through expert system. The paper also discusses the designed approach and the characteristics of the expert system.
