Large amounts of data are collected and stored by different government, industrial, commercial or scientific organizations. As the complexity and volume of the data continue to increase, the task of classifying new unseen data and extracting useful knowledge from the data is becoming practically impossible for humans to do. This makes the automatic knowledge acquisition process not just advantageous over manual knowledge acquisition, but rather a necessity since the probability that a human observer will detect something new and useful is very low given the overwhelming complexity and volume of the information.
