Expert System Thesis: International Student at a Canadian University

AI Thread Summary
An international student pursuing a Master's degree in computer science at a Canadian university is seeking suggestions for a thesis topic focused on expert systems and problem-solving. The student has a background in education and computer studies but is struggling to identify a suitable problem for their thesis. Forum participants advise the student to explore topics related to their professors' research areas, emphasizing the importance of aligning with faculty expertise. They recommend extensive reading of relevant journals in expert systems to understand current research trends and potential problems. Engaging with the advisor to discuss interests and expectations is highlighted as crucial for finding a meaningful and supported thesis topic. The discussion underscores the necessity of narrowing down interests within the broad field of expert systems to identify a viable research direction.

Hello All ,

I'm an international student , studying at a Canadian university .
I'm doing my Master's degree in computer science which was not my major in my country .
My major was education and computer . I've studied 42% computer and the rest was education .
However , I'm wiling to do my degree in Expert system and problem solving . until now , I could not find any problem to be my thesis .
If anyone of you could suggest a problem that is good for an expert system , it will help me a lot .

Thank you ..

If you don't care either way, look at what the professors at your university are working at and pick a topic related to their work.

What's your domain of interest? Do you want to research expert systems with an education bent (grammar/translation/linguistic stuff), a financial services bent, management bent, etc?
 
It's probably a much better idea to talk this over with your supervisor rather than getting a thesis topic from some random people online.

The first key to figuring out a good topic is to read a lot. Figure out what the important journals are in "expert systems" and give them a thorough review. See what's being published in the field to get a sense of what problems people are working on. Talk with your advisor to see which problems he or she expects to be solved in the near future and which are worth working on.
 
My professor is asking me to find one which has to be a real .
that is driving me crazy ..

Read some of his/her work. Read the work he/she cites. Google his/her stuff. Ask him what that means. There are a bunch of real problems in all sorts of domains, but you need to sort out what you're interested in and what he'll support. You're not even giving enough specific info to point you in a direction, which is bad in it's own right, but Choppy's right that it'll be much better if you find your own interest. Expert systems is a really big field, so get yourself a bit more grounded in it and work from there.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
