A.1 Aim: To analyze IEEE/Springer/ACM paper on Expert /AI system.
A.2 Prerequisite: Concepts of Expert system,AI,searching
A.3 Outcome:
To implement the concept of fuzzy, neural or expert system for any application.
Tools Required: Internet
A.4 Theory:
In artificial intelligence, an expert system is a computer system that emulates the decision-
making ability of a human expert. Expert systems are designed to solve complex problems
by reasoning through bodies of knowledge, represented mainly as if–then rules rather than
through conventional procedural code. The first expert systems were created in the 1970s and
then proliferated in the 1980s.Expert systems were among the first truly successful forms
of artificial intelligence (AI) software. An expert system is divided into two subsystems:
the inference engine and the knowledge base. The knowledge base represents facts and rules.
The inference engine applies the rules to the known facts to deduce new facts. Inference
engines can also include explanation and debugging abilities.

Title: Design of Smart Unstaffed Retail Shop Based on IoT and Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: Unstaffed retail shops have emerged recently and been noticeably changing our
shopping style. For these shops, the design of vending machine is critical to user shopping
experience. The existing model designs typically use weighing sensors incapable of sensing
what the customer is taking. In the present study, a smart unstaffed retail shop scheme is
proposed based on artificial intelligence and the internet of things, as an attempt to enhance
the user shopping experience remarkably. To analyze multiple target features of
commodities, the SSD (300 × 300) algorithm is employed; the recognition accuracy is further
enhanced by adding sub-prediction structure.
Introduction: Nowadays, a growing number of businesses and consumers are stressing the
efficiency and experience of consuming shopping. As fueled by the progress of the Internet
of Things and Artificial Intelligence, and the spread of smart-phones and mobile payments,
the unstaffed retail shopping is being popularized. IoT-based service has been applied in the
novel retail shopping fields, thereby offering a set of interactive shopping solutions [4], [5].
The customers can complete the whole shopping process by self-service, and the whole
consumption process appears to be naturally smooth.
B.2 Explain and Draw proposed methodology framework for expert system using hybrid
approach for your paper.
The goods can be detected based on color feature, mathematical morphology, texture feature
and depth feature. For the first three characteristics, the speed of CPU implementation can
reach 40 FPS (seconds per frame), whereas the recalling rate and mean average precision will
be practically down-regulated by the pattern noise, background interference and poor quality
of the image. Moreover, for depth feature based object detection method, the three major
approaches, namely, 1) Faster R-CNN, 2) YOLO and 3) SSD, can exhibit high accuracy rate.
After these three models are trained on the union of VOC2007 and VOC2012 dataset, the
comparison between SSD, Faster R-CNN, and YOLO on Pascal VOC 2007 test set shows
SSD (300×300) outperforms YOLO in detection speed, and it is close to Faster R-CNN in
accuracy. Accordingly, the SSD (300 × 300) is employed to extract the location information
of the goods.
B.4 Conclusion:
In the present study, a smart unstaffed retail shop scheme is proposed based on AI and the
IoT, as an attempt to verify the feasibility of the unstaffed retail shopping style
implementation and solve the unobvious object features attributed to the mutual occlusion of
items in the vending machine.
Ans: Using the data set of 18, 000 images in different practical scenarios containing 20
different type of stock keeping units, the comparison experimental results reveal that the
proposed SSD (300 × 300) model outperforms than the original SSD (300 × 300) in goods
detection, the mean average precision of the developed method reaches 96.1% on the test
dataset, revealing that the system can make up for the deficiency of conventional unmanned
container. The practical test shows that the system can meet the requirements of new retail,
which greatly increases the customer flow and transaction volume.
