Abstract

A common practice of human learning and knowledge management is to use general rules, exception rules, and exceptions to rules. One of the crucial issues is to find a right mixture of them. For discovering this type of knowledge, we consider “rule + exception”, or rule-plus-exception, strategies. Results from psychology, expert systems, genetic algorithms, and machine learning and data mining are summarized and compared, and their implications to knowledge management and discovery are examined. The study motivates and establishes a basis for the design and implementation of new algorithms for the discovery of “rule + exception” type knowledge.
