An
Inference Engine
is a tool from artificial intelligence. The first
inference engine
s were components of expert systems. The typical expert system consisted of a knowledge base and an
inference engine
. The
inference engine
applied logical rules to the knowledge base and deduced new knowledge.
Inference engine
s work primarily in one of two modes: forward chaining and backward chaining. Forward chaining starts with the known facts and asserts new facts. Backward chaining starts with goals, and works backward to determine what facts must be asserted so that the goals can be achieved.
