Abstract

An actual knowledge application is made by means of evolution paradigms in terms of knowledge acquisition. An automatic knowledge integration approach in a distributed-knowledge environment is thus proposed to integrate multiple rule sets into a single effective rule set. The proposed approach consists of two phases: knowledge encoding and knowledge integration. In the encoding phase, each knowledge input is translated and expressed as a rule set, then encoded as a bit string. The combined bit strings from multiple knowledge inputs form an initial knowledge population, which is then ready for integration. In the knowledge integration phase, a genetic search technique generates an optimal or nearly optimal rule set from these initial knowledge-input strings. Finally, experimental results from diagnosis of brain tumors show that the rule set derived by the proposed approach is much more accurate than each initial rule set
