Research Interests
- influence diagram knowledge representation
and solution
- intelligent decision systems
- medical decision analysis
- medical technology assessment
- decision analysis fundamentals
- planning under uncertainty
Prof. Shachter joined Stanford's EES Department directly
after receiving his Ph.D. degree. His doctoral dissertation developed
a method for purchasing an expert's forecast that encourages accurate
revelation of the expert's beliefs as probabilities. His interest
in medical decision analysis led to joint work on scheduling patients
for follow-up bladder cancer therapy.
In recent years, his research has focused on
the representation, manipulation, and analysis of uncertainty and
probabilistic reasoning in decision systems. As part of this work,
he developed the DAVID influence diagram processing system for the
Macintosh. He has worked closely with many students in Bioinformatics,
where he holds a courtesy appointment.
He has been active in the Conference on Uncertainty in
Artificial Intelligence, is a full member of INFORMS and its Decision
Analysis Society. He has held memberships in
the American Association for Artificial Intelligence and
the Society for Medical Decision Making. |
