Evaluation Results for a Query-Based Diagnostics Application

Query-Based Diagnostics refers to the simultaneous building and use of Bayes network diagnostic models, removing the distinction between elicitation and inference phases. In this paper we describe a successful eld trial of such a system in manufacturing. The detailed session logs that are collected during use of the system reveal how the model evolved in use, and pose challenging questions on how the models can be adapted to session outcomes.
