Rule-based systems (RBSs) are expert systems that utilize a knowledge base made up of a set of rules to mimic the decision-making process of a human expert. These systems have gained considerable attention in diverse domains such as medical diagnosis, financial forecasting, and manufacturing process control because of their interpretability, explainability, and simplicity of implementation.
How Rule-Based Systems Work
An RBS operates based on a set of IF-THEN rules, where the IF part represents the conditions that need to be met, and the THEN part represents the actions that should be taken.
For instance, consider a rule-based system for diagnosing diseases. Each rule in this system might represent a specific symptom or combination of symptoms, and the action associated with the rule would be the corresponding diagnosis.
