Automatic rule discovery for field work in anthropology
نویسنده
چکیده
This note deals with the problem of discovering rules that govern social interactions and relations in pre-literal societies. Two older computer programs are first described which can receive data, possibly incomplete and redundant, representing kinship relations among named individuals. The programs then establish a knowledge base in the form of a directed graph, which the user can query in a variety of ways. Another program, written on the "top" of these (rewritten in LISP), can form concepts of various properties, including kinship relations, of and between the individuals. The concepts are derived from the examples and non-examples of a certain social pattern, such as inheritance, succession, marriage, class (tribe, moiety, clan, etc.) membership, dominationsubordination, incest and exogamy. The concepts become hypotheses about the rules, which are corroborated, modified or rejected by further examples and non-examples.

Automatic Discovery of Technology Networks for Industrial-Scale R&D IT Projects via Data Mining
Industrial-Scale R&D IT Projects depend on many sub-technologies which need to be understood and have their risks analysed before the project can begin for their success. When planning such an industrial-scale project, the list of technologies and the associations of these technologies with each other is often complex and form a network. Discovery of this network of technologies is time consumi...
متن کاملKnowledge discovery with classification rules in a cardiovascular dataset
In this paper we study an evolutionary machine learning approach to data mining and knowledge discovery based on the induction of classification rules. A method for automatic rules induction called AREX using evolutionary induction of decision trees and automatic programming is introduced. The proposed algorithm is applied to a cardiovascular dataset consisting of different groups of attributes...
متن کاملTheory and Algorithms for Information Extraction and Classification in Textual Data Mining
Regular expressions can be used as patterns to extract features from semi-structured and narrative text [8]. For example, in police reports a suspect’s height might be recorded as “{CD} feet {CD} inches tall”, where {CD} is the part of speech tag for a numeric value. The result in [1] shows us that regular expressions could have higher performance than explicit expressions in some applications ...
متن کاملTowards Automatic Extraction of Definitions
Definition Extraction can be useful for the creation of glossaries and in Question Answering Systems. It is a tedious task to extract such sentences manually, and thus an automatic system is desirable. In this work we will review some attempts at rule-based approaches and discuss their results. We will then propose a novel experiment involving Genetic Programming and Genetic Algorithms, aimed a...
