Abstract

When initial data are not sufficient to accomplish inference in a knowledge‐based system, more information may be needed. The task of inference guiding or question‐asking in that situation is to select missing information to confirm. We present an inference guiding method for propositional knowledge‐based systems. Our computational experiments show that the new method is significantly better than the methods currently used in many knowledge‐based systems.
