n Reasons why Production-Rules are Insufficient Models for Expert System Knowledge Representation Schemes.

摘要

The majority of expert system shells and fully developed expert system packages are founded upon simple observation and hypothesis production-rules. This paper investigates the use of such knowledge representation schemes by analysis of a simple, incomplete plant classification expert system. Furthermore, a new hierarchical knowledge representation scheme known as the n-Cube, which is suitable for classification applications, is discussed with reference to the disadvantages of rule-based systems.
