Purpose of having the rule-based system
Generally, the rule-based system is used for developing NLP applications and generalized AI applications. There are bunch of questions that we need to answer to generate a clear picture about the rule-based system.
Why do we need the rule-based system?
The rule-based system tries to mimic human expert knowledge for the NLP applications. Here, we are going to address the factors that will help you to understand the purpose of the RB system:
- Available corpus size is small
- Output is too subjective
- Easy for humans of a specific domain to generate some specialized rules
- Difficult for machines to generate specialized rules by just observing small amounts of data
- System output should be highly accurate
All the preceding factors are very much critical if you want to develop NLP application using the RB system. How do the preceding factors help you to decide whether you should choose the RB approach or not?
You need to ask the following questions:
- Do you have a large...
