Forward Chaining, Backward Chaining and Hybrid Expert Systems

Question

List with explanation five applications of each of the following Artificial Intelligence (AI) expert systems:

1. Forward Chaining Expert Systems

2. Backward Chaining Expert Systems

3. Hybrid Expert Systems

Answer 1

Some applications of the following expert systems in AI 

• Forward chaining: used in vast number of fields, forward chaining is used in the design of  production rule systems as well as expert systems which are also used for:

1. Planning 
2. Monitoring 
3. Controlling 
4. Interpreting 

• Backward chaining: Backward chaining can be used in design of the following types of applications:

1. Debugging 
2. Diagnostics (An example of this is the MYCIN expert system used in recognizing of bacterial infection.
3. Prescription 
4. Proof assistant 
5. Automated theorem provers 

• Hybrid expert systems:

1. Medicine 
2. Military 
3. Education
