Inductive Databases and Knowledge Scouts
نویسنده
چکیده
Project Summary Objectives of this research are to develop, implement, and test a methodology for building inductive databases, which extend conventional databases by integrating inductive inference capabilities. These capabilities allow a database to answer queries that require synthesizing plausible knowledge. Such knowledge is not directly or deductively obtainable from the database, but can be hypothesized through inductive inference. To implement these capabilities, a new type of operators are developed that are

Building Knowledge Scouts Using KGL Metalanguage
Knowledge scouts are software agents that autonomously search for and synthesize user-oriented knowledge (target knowledge) in large local or distributed databases. A knowledge generation metalanguage, KGL, is used to creating scripts defining such knowledge scouts. Knowledge scouts operate in an inductive database, by which we mean a database system in which conventional data and knowledge man...
متن کاملA Knowledge Scout for Discovering Medical Patterns: Methodology and System SCAMP
Knowledge scouts are software agents that autonomously synthesize knowledge of interest to a given user (target knowledge) by applying inductive database operators to a local or distributed dataset. This paper describes briefly a method and a scripting language for developing knowledge scouts, and then reports on experiments with a knowledge scout, SCAMP, for discovering patterns characterizing...
متن کاملKnowledge Discovery in databases - An Inductive Logic Programming Approach
The need for learning from databases has increased along with their number and size. The new eld of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) develops methods that discover relevant knowledge in very large databases. Machine learning, statistics, and database methodology contribute to this exciting eld. In this paper, the discovery of knowledge in the form of Horn clauses is described. A case stud...
متن کاملTowards a Framework for Knowledge Discovery
We discuss how data mining, patternbases and databases can be integrated into inductive databases, which make data mining an inductive query process. We propose a software architecture for such inductive databases, and extend this architecture to support the clustering of inductive databases and to make them suitable for data mining on the grid.
متن کاملUnique Challenges of Managing Inductive Knowledge
Tools for inducing knowledge from databases, often grouped under the term knowledge discovery, are becoming increasingly important to organizations in business, government, and science. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the long-term management of induced knowledge. Induced knowledge presents unique challenges, including managing statistical significance and inductive bias. ...
