# Learning Production Rules for Consultation Systems

Sholom M. Weiss, Casimir A. Kulikowski, Bernard Nudel

*Proceedings of the Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*.

## Abstract

Production rules, with associated measures of probability or confidence, play an important role in contemporary consultation systems. Procedures have been developed which learn a set of probabilistic production rules from a training sample. ~e have experimented with these methods, by deriving a set of production rules from a medical data base.
