Abstract

Ripple-Down Rules (RDR) has the goal of simple, incremental development of a knowledge-based system (KBS) while the KBS is already in use, so that over time an expert can evolve a sophisticated KBS as a minor extension of their normal duties. RDR has had considerable success in developing classification KBS. It has been extended to configuration, heuristic search and other tasks. This paper proposes a generalisation of RDR that may enable experts to evolve KBS for a range of tasks.
