Rule Based Systems ● simplistic ● based on if-then statements IF some condition THEN some action ● provide the basis for so-called “expert systems”
Components of a RBS ● A typical rule-based system has four basic components: ● A list of rules or rule base, which is a specific type of knowledge base. ● An inference engine or semantic reasoner, which infers information or takes action based on the interaction of input and the rule base. ● Temporary working memory. ● A user interface or other connection to the outside world through which input and output signals are received and sent.
