RECOMMENDING CUISINE ACCORDING TO THE TASTE Syed Anas Hussain, B20102155 Mohammed Rabe Ahmed, B20102123 Kashif Ahmed Shaikh, B20102056 Muhammad Sanaullah, B20102112 INTRODUCTION: ➔ Inference engines are a type of software that can make decisions or draw conclusions based on a set of rules and input data. ➔ They are often used in artificial intelligence applications to automate decision-making and problem-solving tasks. HOW INFERENCE ENGINE WORKS: ➔ Inference engines work by using a set of rules to make decisions based on input data. ➔ The rules are often in the form of "if-then" statements, where the engine checks if a certain condition is met, and if it is, takes a specific action or makes a specific decision. ➔ Inference engines can be rule-based, where the rules are explicitly defined, or they can be machine learning-based, where the engine learns the rules through training data. EXAMPLES OF INFERENCE ENGINES: Inference engines are used in a wide variety of applications, including: ➔ Diagnosing medical conditions based on symptoms. ➔ Recommending products or services based on user preferences. ➔ Predicting which customers are likely to churn or cancel their subscriptions. ➔ Classifying images or text based on their content. BENEFITS OF INFERENCE ENGINES: ➔ Inference engines can automate decision making processes, which can save time and resources. ➔ They can also improve decision-making accuracy by eliminating human error and bias. ➔ Inference engines can be used in real-time applications, which can enable faster and more efficient decision-making. LIMITATIONS OF INFERENCE ENGINES: ➔ Inference engines can only make decisions based on the rules they are given and the input data they receive. If the rules or data are inaccurate or incomplete, the engine's decisions may be flawed. ➔ Inference engines can also be difficult to develop and maintain, especially if the rules are complex or change frequently. ➔ In some cases, it may be difficult to explain or understand the engine's decision-making process, especially with machine learning-based inference engines. CONCLUSION: ➔ Inference engines are a powerful tool for automating decision-making processes and improving decision-making accuracy. ➔ They are used in a wide variety of applications and can be rule-based or machine learning-based. ➔ While there are limitations to their use, inference engines are an important tool for artificial intelligence and decision-making.
