Production System in Artificial intelligence

Presented By:

Introduction

a computer program typically used to provide some form of  artificial intelligence

consists primarily of a set of rules about behavior Productions are a basic representation found useful in

automated planning, expert systems and action selection

provides the mechanism necessary to execute productions in order to achieve some goal for the system.

consist of two parts: a sensory precondition (or "IF" statement) and an action (or "THEN").

Strong Method

depends on a system being given a great deal of knowledge about its world and the problems that it might encounter.

problem solving depends on the weak methods because a system with knowledge is useless without some methodology for handling that knowledge.

Weak Method

use systems such as logic, automated reasoning, and other general structures that can be applied to a wide range of problems

do not necessarily incorporate any real knowledge about the world of the problem that is being solved.

Weak Vs Strong Method

● WM: Focused towards the technology which is capable of carrying out pre planned moves based on some rules and applying it to achieve goals

● SM: Based on coming up with a technology that can think and function similar to humans

● Application of weak method makes humans feel that machines are acting intelligent

● Application of strong method will act and think like human and making humans feel machines are intelligent

Advantages

• Provides excellent tool for structuring AI programs

• Highly modular because individual rules can be added, removed or modified independently

• Expressed in natural form
