MYCIN was an early backward chaining expert system that used artificial intelligence to identify bacteria causing severe infections, such as bacteremia and meningitis, and to recommend antibiotics, with the dosage adjusted for patient's body weight — the name derived from the antibiotics themselves, as many antibiotics have the suffix "-mycin ...

MYCIN, an early expert system, or artificial intelligence (AI) program, for treating blood infections. In 1972 work began on MYCIN at Stanford University in California. MYCIN would attempt to diagnose patients based on reported symptoms and medical test results.

MYCIN is the name of a decision support system developed by Stanford University in the early- to mid-seventies, built to assist physicians in the diagnosis of infectious diseases.

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is largely an experimental science—at least as much progress has been made by building and analyzing programs as by examining theoretical questions. MYCIN is one of several well-known programs that embody some intelligence and provide data on the extent to which intelligent behavior can be programmed.

2023年11月12日 · One of the first successful "expert systems" was MYCIN, developed in the 1970s at Stanford University. Though never used in real-world medicine, MYCIN demonstrated the potential of AI in healthcare – paving the way for today‘s medical AI applications.

2015年9月11日 · MYCIN was a clinical decision support system developed in 1972 at Stanford University by Edward Shortliffe as a consultation system that focused on appropriate management of patients who had infections. The system was never publicly used in clinical practice settings.

Mycin is an early backward chaining expert system developed in the early 1970s at Stanford University. It used artificial intelligence to identify bacteria causing severe infections, such as bacteremia and meningitis, and to recommend antibiotics, with the dosage adjusted for the patient's body weight.

Impact on Healthcare AI: Explore how MYCIN paved the way for AI applications in medical diagnostics and treatment recommendations. Expert Speakers: Hear from renowned AI historians, technologists, and practitioners who have studied or been influenced by MYCIN.

MYCIN is one of the most famous Expert Systems that triggered the second AI booming in 1980s. The new concepts such as ‘knowledge-based’, ‘knowledge-engineering’, ‘knowledge-acquisition’ were supported by what is called ‘rule-based system’ or ‘production system’, which is based on a collection of ‘IF ~ THEN ~’ forms.
