Drools – Bayesian Belief Network Integration Part 4

This follows my earlier Part 3 posting in May.

I have integrated the Bayesian System into the Truth Maintenance System, with a first end to end test. It’s still very raw, but it demonstrates how the TMS can be used to provide evidence via logical insertions. 

The BBN variables are mapped to fields on the Garden class. Evidence is applied as a logical insert, using a property reference – indicating it’s evidence for the variable mapped to that property.  If there is conflict evidence for the same field, then the fact becomes undecided. 

The rules are added via a String, while the BBN is added from a file. This code uses the new pluggable knowledge types, which allow pluggable parsers, builders and runtimes. This is how the Bayesian stuff is added cleanly, without touching the core – but I’ll blog about those another time.
