Editorial Notes

NOTICE OF CONCERN: ACM has received evidence that casts doubt on the integrity of the peer review process for the ICEMIS 2021Conference. As a result, ACM is issuing a Notice of Concern for all papers published and strongly suggests that the papers from this Conference not be cited in the literature until ACM's investigation has concluded and final decisions have been made regarding the integrity of the peer review process for this Conference.

ABSTRACT

Expert Systems are programs that employ artificial intelligence and mimic the performance of human experts in a certain field by gathering and capturing expert information. In this paper, we present a rule-based expert system to provide the diagnosis for the most common psychiatric diseases to facilitate the diagnosis process. This system diagnoses four types of psychiatric diseases Anxiety Disorder (generalized anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, and phobic disorder), Stress-related disorder, Depression, and Schizophrenia using the International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision. The knowledge used in this system is acquired from domain experts, and relevant medical books and documents to capture knowledge that is valid as much as possible. Then, the acquired knowledge is demonstrated using a diagnostic chart, and decision table that represents the signs and symptoms involved in the diagnosis. A rule-based expert system and production rules that represent the domain knowledge are built using SWI-PROLOG Editor. The system is based on backward chaining which starts with possible goals and attempts to collect information that confirms it. The testing result shows the average accuracy of the system register 80% in diagnosing patients with psychiatric diseases.
