Although researchers have studied which factors influence the behavior of traditional search algorithms, currently not much is known about how domain properties influence the perf...
Many reported discovery systems build discrete models of hidden structure, properties, or processes in the diverse fields of biology, chemistry, and physics. We show that the sear...
We describe Occam, a query planning algorithm that determines the best way to integrate data from dierent sources. As input, Occam takes a library of site descriptions and a user ...
To explain complex phenomena, an explanation system must be able to select information from a formal representation of domain knowledge, organize the selected information into mul...
Rule induction research implicitly assumes that after producing the rules from a dataset, these rules will be used directly by an expert system or a human user. In real-life appli...
