Rule Based and Supervisory Training Approach to Develop Expert System Tool for Detecting Lung Cancer Disease

Knowledge-based expert systems, or expert systems, use human knowledge to solve problems that normally would require human intelligence. These expert systems represent the expertise knowledge as data or rules within the computer. These rules and data can be called upon when needed to solve problems. Lung cancer is one of the dreaded disease in the modern era. It is responsible for the most cancer deaths in both men and women throughout the world. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are imperative for the cure. Longevity and cure depend on early detection. This paper gives on insight to identify the target group of people who are suffering or susceptible to suffer lung cancer disease. Seeking proper medical attention can be initiated based on the findings. Expert system tool developed, to find this target group based on the non-clinical parameters. Symptoms and risk factors associated with Lung cancer are taken as the basis of this study. This expert system basically works on the rule based approach to collect the data. Then Supervisory learning approach is used to infer the basic data. Once sufficient knowledge base is generated the system can be mode to adopt in unsupervised learning mode
