Abstract

We investigate the bidirectional links between knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) and automated scientific discovery. Both are concerned with discovery of knowledge, but they differ in many ways. We contrast them and explain why they differ. Then we propose the interchange of ideas and ways of thinking between automated scientific discovery and KDD, so that results in each area can influence the other.
