Is the expert system still in use today?

In my country, the Expert System class is mandatory, if you want to take the AI specialization in most universities. In class, I learned how to make a rule-based system, forward chaining, backward chaining, Prolog, etc. However, I have read…

What is the difference between logic-based and rule-based AI?

I always thought rule-based was synonymous with logic-based AI. Logic has axioms and rules of inference, whereas rule-based AI has a knowledge base (essentially, axioms) and if-then rules to create new knowledge (essentially inference rules). But in…

Did old-fashioned, rule-based systems die out when statistical learning broke through into NLP?

It is not quite clear to me whether the statistical approach superseded the rule-based system in the 90s. McMahon and Smith (1998) report that many other researchers used "hybrids of statistical and formal approaches". What do they mean? Maybe it…

Are Relational DBs and SQL used in Expert Systems?

In the book Prolog Programming for Artificial Intelligence, a large and intricate chapter (chapter 14) is dedicated to Expert Systems. In these systems, a knowledge-database is represented through facts and rules in a declarative manner, and then…

Does rule-based image processing count as AI?

I'm quite new to the field of AI and I currently find it hard to precisely inclose the broad field of AI. Especially the aspect of image processing isn't quite clear to me. So far I've done rule-based approaches with image processing, e.g. things…

Are there any advantages of using rules-based approaches versus models for detecting spam?

Suppose that we have unlabeled data. That is, all we have are a collection of emails and want to determine whether any of them is spam or not. Let's say we have $1,000$ rules to determine whether a particular email is spam or not. For example, one…
