Abstract :
We present an educational tool for bringing the information contained in a Bayesian network to the end user in an easily intelligible form. The BANTER shell is designed to tutor users in evaluation of hypotheses and selection of optimal diagnostic procedures. BANTER can be used with any Bayesian network containing nodes that can be classified into hypotheses, observations, and diagnostic procedures. We present algorithms for determining optimal diagnostic procedures and for explanation generation
