Well, what exactly do you want to do with them? The specific application can help figure out what to change.

But, as far as I can tell, they are just an optimization for checking evidence against a ruleset. And, according to wikipedia, there are more modern ways to do that. I would think that getting the ruleset correct would be more important than optimizing it (at least if you don't have tens of thousands of rules to begin with) ... for AI.

I've been reading some PhD theses about Rete and I want to bend the structures and algorithms a bit and was hoping for feedback, in particular on which structures I could modify. Was hoping for a conversation with a little more depth.

Subject: Re: [agi] Rete structures and algorithms

I've never used retes so I'm just going off of what I read at Wikipedia and DrDobbs.

It seems like the Alpha nodes are just checking for individual conditions (e.g. (a<b), or (c = 1)), the connection to the join nodes could be represented as some type of list (linked list, or list of Keys in a database or dictionary) for each alpha node, and the same for the connection from the
join nodes to the beta nodes.

    Does anyone here understand the Rete algorithm and data structures
    very well?

    If so, kindly answer these questions:

    1. What is the process by which alpha memories are formed?


    2. How exactly are alpha memories linked to join nodes, and join
    nodes linked to beta memories.

    Thanks in advance for the simple explanation. I'm sure I'll have
    follow up questions.
