Rete algorithm: Description, Overview & Variants

The Rete algorithm (/ˈriːtiː/ REE-tee, /ˈreɪtiː/ RAY-tee, rarely /ˈriːt/ REET, /rɛˈteɪ/ reh-TAY) is a pattern matching algorithm for implementing rule-based systems. The algorithm was developed to efficiently apply many rules or patterns to many objects, or facts, in a knowledge base. It is used to determine which of the system's rules should fire based…
