The First Expert System DENDRAL in 1968

The First Expert System DENDRAL in 1968

The DENDRAL system is an expert system that helps chemists determine the molecular structure of an unknown substance. It began development at Stanford University in the United States in 1965 and was successfully developed in 1968. It is the result of collaboration between Feigenbaum and chemist J. Lederberg. In the mid-1960s, Lederberg proposed an algorithm … Read more
