Currently a PhD student at Helsinki University of Technolofy,
developing a knowledge acquisition methodology
called Seamless Structured Knowledge Acquisition
(SeSKA). The main example expert system,
built using Seska
tries to solve the testbench
project Sisyphus III. Another example concerns
MS and nutrition.
A development tool
SOOKAT (gif picture, 15 kB)
(Structured Object-Oriented Knowledge Acquisition
Tool) is being built to support SeSKA.
Interests:
dietary control of MS
(some principles of living food, sufficiene intake of vitamin D - 20 mcg/day for
MS patients, 10 normally -, Swank and MacDougall diets, progesterone,
information found in Medlin etc.)
mental exercises with Silva method, Feldenkrais method, affirmations,
techniques of psychosynthesis, etc.)
horseriding, swimming
