Expert System

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-010427

A computer program that mimics the judgment of experts by following sets of chemical-specific knowledge rules derived from measured toxicity data and knowledge of how chemicals cause toxicity in animals and humans. In computational toxicology, expert systems can be combined with QSAR models or qualitative structure-activity relationships and used to make predictions of toxicity. Expert systems ideally provide transparency with regard to the data (see knowledge base) underlying the rules and their mechanistic rationale.
