    Study Notes

    Production Systems Definition

    • A production system emulates human problem-solving by applying a set of rules sequentially.
    • It updates the state of the problem until a solution is found or no more rules apply.

    Components of a Production System

    • Production Rules: "If-then" rules, which specify conditions and actions.
      • The condition part defines when the rule is applicable.
      • The action part specifies what to do when the condition is met.
    • Working Memory: A temporary storage area that holds the current state of the problem.
      • This memory compares rule conditions to decide which action to take.
    • Recognize-Act Cycle: A continuous loop where:
      • Rules are matched with the current state in the working memory.
      • One matching rule is selected (conflict resolution).
      • The action corresponding to the selected rule is executed updating the working memory. This process repeats until no further rules apply.

    Key Concepts

    • Firing a Rule: A rule is executed updating the working memory with new information.
    • Conflict Resolution: When multiple rules match, the system decides which rule to execute. Strategies can range from simple (e.g., first match) to complex( prioritizing certain rules).

    Conflict Resolution Strategies

    • Ordering on Rules: Rules can be ordered to prioritize one over the other.
    • Refraction: A rule that has fired in a previous cycle, might not fire again until working memory that matches the same conditions is modified.
    • Recency: The system prioritizes rules that match patterns that were most recently added to the working memory.
    • Specificity: The system prefers more specific rules with more conditions (matching fewer rules).

    Example 1

    • Illustrates the interaction between rules and working memory.

    Example 2

    • Further illustrates how different conflict resolution strategies influence rule selection and working memory updates in a specific production system simulation.

    Limitations of Production Systems

    • Inflexibility: Basic systems cannot recover from errors or dead ends efficiently.
    • Lack of Human Problem-Solving Simulation: Although suitable for developing expert systems, they shouldn't be assumed to fully simulate the human thought process.

    Expert Systems

    • Definition: Computer programs designed to replicate the decision-making capabilities of human experts

    • Techniques:

      • Rules-based
      • Model-based
      • Case-based reasoning

    • Components:

      • Knowledge base - Contains the specific knowledge of a particular problem domain.
      • Inference engine - Applies the knowledge to solve problems.
      • Explanation system - Clearly explains decisions, rationale and the reasoning process.

    • Advantages:

      • Capturing expert knowledge
      • Improving performance
      • Explaining decisions/solutions
      • Easy modification of rules

    • Disadvantages:

      • Expert knowledge acquisition can be difficult
      • Can be brittle(problematic) with incomplete or unpredictable data
      • Difficulty in generalizing beyond specific cases
