A Multi-Intelligent Agent for Knowledge Discovery in Database (MIAKDD): Cooperative Approach with Domain Expert for Rules Extraction

Abstract

AbstractIn last decade, autonomous intelligent agents or multi-intelligent agents and knowledge discovery in database are combined to produce a new research area in intelligent information technology. In this paper, we aim to produce a knowledge discovery approach to extract a set of rules from a dataset for automatic knowledge base construction using cooperative approach between a multi-intelligent agent system and a domain expert in a particular domain. The proposed system consists of several intelligent agents, each one has a specific task. The main task is assign to associative classification mining intelligent agent to deal with a database directly for rules extraction using Classification Based on Associations (CBA) rule generation and classification algorithm, and send them to a domain expert for a modification process. Then, the modified rules will be saved in a knowledge base which is used later by other systems (e.g. knowledge-based system). In other words, the aim of this work is to introduce a tool for extracting knowledge from database, more precisely this work has focused on produce the knowledge base automatically that used rules approach for knowledge representation. The MIAKDD is developed and implemented using visual Prolog programming language ver. 7.1 and the approach is tested for a UCI heart diseases dataset.KeywordsKDDdata miningintelligent agentmulti-intelligent agentCBA algorithmMulti-Intelligent Agent Knowledge Discovery in Database (MIAKDD)
