Abstract
In an inference system in accordance with the present invention, an attributive information is supplemented to a knowledge unit for the purpose of smooth execution of inference, and a knowledge base is constructed with this pair as the building unit. In connection with this, functions that are in response to the purpose, such as selection or rejection of a knowledge unit and alteration in the order of search, are added to the inference organ, based on the attributive information. Employed as an attributive information is, for example, the information on the frequency of use of each knowledge unit. The inference organ renews the information on the frequency of use for every use of each knowledge unit. In addition, a housing space is allocated to each knowledge unit based on the information on the frequency of use. This means, for example, that a knowledge unit with higher frequency of use is housed in an area of the inference organ such as core memory that may be accessed with ease.
