In forward chaining, the inference engine starts with the given initial data and uses a series of "if-then" rules to continually create new data until the desired goal is reached. This process involves performing a series of "if-then-else" condition pairs to determine the next step. Backward chaining, on the other hand, starts with the desired goal and uses the rules to work backward to the initial data. Inductive and abductive reasoning are not specific techniques used by inference engines to manipulate rules.
