Abstract
As today’s manufacturing domain is becoming more and more knowledge-intensive, knowledge-based systems (KBS) are widely applied in the predictive maintenance domain to detect and predict anomalies in machines and machine components. Within a KBS, decision rules are a comprehensive and interpretable tool for classification and knowledge discovery from data. However, when the decision rules incorporated in a KBS are extracted from heterogeneous sources, they may suffer from several rule quality issues, which weakens the performance of a KBS. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a rule base refinement approach with considering rule quality measures. The proposed approach is based on a rule integration method for integrating the expert rules and the rules obtained from data mining. Within the integration process, rule accuracy, coverage, redundancy, conflict, and subsumption are the quality measures that we use to refine the rule base. A case study on a real-world data set shows the approach in detail.
