摘要： In an automatic decision-making system, a method and a tool for the reduction of the dimension of data mining, which is automatically coupled to an empirical predictor of the system. The method includes a qualitative modeling of the interrelations between various objects whose attributes are relevant to a score made by the predictor according to which decisions are made, wherein this relevancy is determined by an input of a domain expert to the problem in hand. The model is called a Knowledge-Tree and its conclusions are represented by a graphical symbolization called the Knowledge-Tree map. Data mining, which follows the construction of the Knowledge-Tree map regards only datasets which are associated with logical and validated branches of the knowledge tree. Because the expert input which reduces the dimension of data mining was completed prior to data mining, interception by human reasoning is not needed after data mining and the decision making process can proceed automatically.

摘要： A method and system to enhance yield in multi-process manufacturing. The method comprising the translation of a performance parameter of a product into input variables to operate tools carrying our cooperating processes which built a structural element which determines the performance parameter, wherein the individual tools are process controlled. The method further comprising the integration of process control of individual separate processes or of stages in a process, into a combined and comprehensive (modular) process control in which the process parameters of a process are enslaved to accomplish the target output of the final process. Hence target output values of intermediate processes are dynamically reassigned during the manufacturing with respect to their initially designed values, in accordance with the output of their cooperating processes.

摘要： A system for automatic control of a process, comprising a process model using data and further comprising a data model for generating data for said process model and an empirical data extractor for extracting data from said process for said model, and wherein said data used by said process model is interchangeable between data obtained by said data model and data obtained by said extractor. The data model may be a partly statistical partly empirical orthogonal process model. The system is useful in allowing control systems using empirical prediction methods to perform automatic control before having built up a full results database.
