Abstract:

The ability to scale up is an essential ability for large computer systems that handle numerous simultaneous tasks reliably. It follows that these systems must support parallelism for performance and redundancy for fault tolerance. But parallelism and redundancy are not the most important abilities needed for scalability. A scalable system will, simply because it is scalable, often be pushed beyond its capacity to work. It will be overloaded.

Machine learning, specifically neural networks, have seen significant advancements in classification tasks across various fields. Although they achieve high accuracy, their decision-making process is often incomprehensible to humans.
Rule-based methods, on the other hand, are interpretable and widely used in industries with Business Rules Management Systems.
In practice, however, these rules are written manually by experts and cannot easily be replaced by learned rules because of their limited complexity when obtained with existing methods.
