Tour of CLIPS - A WASM-powered CLIPS tutorial

[Ryan Johnston]

Hey, everyone,

I've recently made public my Tour of CLIPS in the style of A Tour of Go. I hope to use this as a way of making CLIPS more accessible for people to try out. Additionally, I'm planning to add more content to this over time to help showcase this awesome language.

One bit of feedback I've gotten: people want to know how this is used in the wild. I've noted the Ubuntu Manpage for CLIPS mentions:

CLIPS is being used by over 5,000 users throughout the public and private community including: all NASA sites and branches of the military, numerous federal bureaus, government contractors, universities, and many private companies.

Does anyone have any examples of projects in which they use CLIPS? I'd love to make mention of it in future iterations of my "tour."

Hello,

For my assignment  I developed a Expert system where a student can know weather  he/she is promoted to next semester and will able be get degree or not.

Amazing work! Thank you so much!

Hi Ryan

Nice work.

As to the users, I can only answer for myself.

I’ve been using CLIPS since 2007, both as a teaching tool (in an introductory AI course) and for my own research.

I’ve developed a pattern-based solver of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (with applications to familiar logic puzzles): CSP-Rules.

It has thousands of rules, most of them generic (i.e. valid for any finite CSP) and some application-specific.

It can be used at a totally elementary level of puzzles solving.

But it is also a research tool. In particular, I have used it for large scale studies (unbiased statistics of Sudoku, filtering of 3-digit patterns that require T&E(3), classification of the recently discovered puzzles in T&E(3) …) 

It is available on GitHub: https://github.com/denis-berthier/CSP-Rules-V2.1

What I can say about CLIPS is, it’s a really wonderful tool. I have sometimes run it for a month to solve millions of puzzles, without noticing any memory leakage. I have also run extremely hard (and rare) cases that required up to two millions of facts and 50 GB of RAM, still with no problem.

I take this opportunity to thank and congratulate Gary for his commitment to  developing and maintaining it. The few times I’ve found a bug, Gary has corrected it quite fast.

I have also used JESS (the Java version of CLIPS), but it is now much slower and no longer maintained. Originally, CSP-Rules was compatible with JESS, but I have given up with this because it implied too many restrictions on the use of CLIPS.

I have also quickly searched for other projects using CLIPS on GitHub, but I haven’t found any large-scale one.

If you can find this (large-scale CLIPS projects), I would be very interested in having a look at them.

Best 

Denis

Thanks for the nice comments, all :)

Neat. How many rules did you end up using to represent your engine?

Thanks 😄

> puzzles solving

This was one of my first applications, as well. CLIPS works quite well for games, puzzles, etc that have explicitly defined "rules." I've found that these translate well.

Very cool. I'll include a link to this particular repo in a future version of the tour

I will let you know. I have a few applications on my local machine that could be interesting in this same vein. Will let you all know if/when I post them :)
