Abstract

In this work the subject of the application of clustering as a knowledge extraction method from real-world data is discussed. The authors analyze the influence of different clustering parameters on the efficiency of the knowledge mining process for rules/rules clusters. In the course of the experiments, nine different objects similarity measures and four clusters similarity measures have been examined in order to verify their impact on the size of the created clusters and the size of their representatives. The experiments have revealed that there is a strong relationship between the parameters used in the clustering process and future efficiency levels of the knowledge mined from such structures: some parameters guarantee to produce shorter/longer representatives of the created rules clusters as well as smaller/greater clusters’ sizes.

Fußnoten
1
Rules have been extensively used in knowledge representation and reasoning. This is very space efficient as only a relatively small number of facts needs to be stored in the KB and the rest can be derived from the inference rules. Such a natural way of knowledge representation makes the rules easily understood by people not involved in the expert system building.
 
2
The idea is new but it is based on the authors’ previous research, where the idea of clustering rules was introduced.
 
3
If both compared objects have the same attribute and this attribute has the same value for both objects then add 1 to a given similarity measure. If otherwise, do nothing. To eliminate one of the problems of SMC, which favours the longest rules, the authors also used Jaccards Index.
 
4
However the authors see the necesssity to analyze the meaning of methods for creating clusters’ representatives and their influence on the overall efficiency.
 
5
At this stage some data about sole attributes are also gathered (max. and min. of numerical attributes, the number of times when a categorical attribute had a given value), as they are used in some similarity measures.
