Systems and methods for prioritizing a plurality of predefined rules for an expert system

Abstract

A computing system is configured to receive a plurality of predefined rules from a database. The rules include a first set of predefined rules that includes a hardcoded priority value for each respective predefined rule and a second set of predefined rules that do not have a hardcoded priority value. Furthermore, each rule is associated with a keyword. The computing system determines, for the first set of predefined rules, that each respective predefined rule includes the hardcoded priority value and orders the first set of predefined rules in order of priority based on the hardcoded priority values. The computing system performs a super rule/subrule prioritization operation on the second set of predefined rules, which includes prioritizing one or more super rules over its associated one or more subrules. The computing system then performs an accuracy-based prioritization operation on the second set of predefined rules after the super rule/subrule prioritization operation.
