Expert Systems - Another name for knowledge based systems. These types of systems use artificial intelligence in order to solve extremely complex problems. To put in terms that non-computer people would understand, they attempt to mirror the thought process of a human expert in the field of the particular problem.
Inference Engine - This is the center of the knowledge base system. It is a program that tries to come up with answers from the kbase for a problem. The main purpose here is to come up with legitimate conclusions based upon the retrieved data in the kbase.
Rule-based programming - A method of programming knowledge-based systems. Uses if-then logic with particular actions that must take place for individual situations.
Artificial Neural Networks - Programs or models in computing that attempt to mimic a human brain. These programs can even learn as they go, but connot deal with "fuzzy logic" well. The study guide puts it this way: ANNs cannot see the gray in the world, such as good and bad.
