Knowledge Structure
Rules encode the knowledge of the domain required to solve problems or tasks in the domain.
Conceptually, a rule is made up of 2 parts:
- The “if” portion (aka left-hand side, conditions or preconditions)
- The “then” portion (aka right-hand side, actions, effects).
There are many variations on this theme, e.g. including a “confidence measure” with a rule to help accommodate uncertainty.
