Forward Chainer Description

Forward Chainer - Demonstrates artificial intelligence (AI) concept of forward chaining Forward Chainer is a simple program which can work through small examples to demonstrate a type of algorithm used in artificial intelligence (AI) known as forward chaining. A few examples are provided, but you can also write your own.What is artificial intelligence (AI)? The short answer is, probably not what most people think. A slightly longer answer (probably one of many) is that it is the science of building computer algorithms to mimic, in some limited capacity, different ways in which a person might try to solve a problem.Forward chaining basically allows one to give a computer some pre-defined knowledge about the world and some rules with which to use, or "reason", with that knowledge. The computer can then come up with new knowledge or conclusions using the rules.All of this "knowledge" is stored in a type of database, so as the computer works through its knowledge using the rules, it adds new knowledge to the database and thus can accumulate knowledge over time. In a sense, the computer gets "smarter" over time as it accumulates more knowledge.Limitations:· The program was made with the intention of using it for small, demonstration examples and not for real tasks. The program can take so long that it may not be worth waiting to see when it finishes. A major reason for the speed limitation is that it does not use the Rete algorithm, which is a technique for making such programs faster. Additionally, this program does not support backward chaining and also does not support production rules, only deduction rules. What's New in This Release: · Now a Universal Binary application · New examples provided · Improved interface
