This book was released on 1996-12-01 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problems can arise whenever inferencing is attempted on a knowledge base that is incomplete. Our work shows that data mining techniques can be applied to fill in incomplete areas in Bayesian Knowledge Bases (BKBs), as well as in other knowledge-based systems utilizing probabilistic representations. The problem of inconsistency in BKBs has been addressed in previous work, where reinforcement learning techniques from neural networks were applied. However, the issue of automatically solving incompleteness in BKBs has yet to be addressed. Presently, incompleteness in BKBs is repaired through the application of traditional knowledge acquisition techniques. We show how association rules can be extracted from databases in order to replace excluded information and express missing relationships. A methodology for incorporating those results while maintaining a consistent knowledge base is also included.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "As knowledge bases are enlarged to support more complex classes of problems, expert systems will demand efficient knowledge-management techniques -- techniques that are already available in database systems. In this paper, we present the design of a database schema suitable for [sic] knowledge base that employ [sic] a decision-network representation. Using this schema, we describe the process of translating existing knowledge bases into relational format. Although exploratory in nature, our work indicates that the application of database techniques offer numerous advantages over an ad-hoc scheme for managing probabilistic knowledge bases."

Download or read book Managing Data From Knowledge Bases Querying and Extraction written by Wei Emma Zhang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the authors first address the research issues by providing a motivating scenario, followed by the exploration of the principles and techniques of the challenging topics. Then they solve the raised research issues by developing a series of methodologies. More specifically, the authors study the query optimization and tackle the query performance prediction for knowledge retrieval. They also handle unstructured data processing, data clustering for knowledge extraction. To optimize the queries issued through interfaces against knowledge bases, the authors propose a cache-based optimization layer between consumers and the querying interface to facilitate the querying and solve the latency issue. The cache depends on a novel learning method that considers the querying patterns from individual’s historical queries without having knowledge of the backing systems of the knowledge base. To predict the query performance for appropriate query scheduling, the authors examine the queries’ structural and syntactical features and apply multiple widely adopted prediction models. Their feature modelling approach eschews the knowledge requirement on both the querying languages and system. To extract knowledge from unstructured Web sources, the authors examine two kinds of Web sources containing unstructured data: the source code from Web repositories and the posts in programming question-answering communities. They use natural language processing techniques to pre-process the source codes and obtain the natural language elements. Then they apply traditional knowledge extraction techniques to extract knowledge. For the data from programming question-answering communities, the authors make the attempt towards building programming knowledge base by starting with paraphrase identification problems and develop novel features to accurately identify duplicate posts. For domain specific knowledge extraction, the authors propose to use a clustering technique to separate knowledge into different groups. They focus on developing a new clustering algorithm that uses manifold constraints in the optimization task and achieves fast and accurate performance. For each model and approach presented in this dissertation, the authors have conducted extensive experiments to evaluate it using either public dataset or synthetic data they generated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge Mining Using Intelligent Agents explores the concept of knowledge discovery processes and enhances decision-making capability through the use of intelligent agents like ants, termites and honey bees. In order to provide readers with an integrated set of concepts and techniques for understanding knowledge discovery and its practical utility, this book blends two distinct disciplines data mining and knowledge discovery process, and intelligent agents-based computing (swarm intelligence and computational intelligence). For the more advanced reader, researchers, and decision/policy-makers are given an insight into emerging technologies and their possible hybridization, which can be used for activities like dredging, capturing, distributions and the utilization of knowledge in their domain of interest (i.e. business, policy-making, etc.). By studying the behavior of swarm intelligence, this book aims to integrate the computational intelligence paradigm and intelligent distributed agents architecture to optimize various engineering problems and efficiently represent knowledge from the large gamut of data.
