An Application of AI Techniques to Structuring Objects into an Optimal Conceptual Hierarchy
Proceedings of the Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. Theoretical Foundations. Pages 460-464.
Abstract
A aethod of "learning froa obaervation" 1a preaented which atructurea a collection of objecta into hierarchlea of aubcategoriea, auch that each aubcategory ia characteriaed by a conjunctive deacription involving relatione on aelected object attribute&. The conjunctive deacriptiona aprouting froa each node are ~tually diajoint and optimal aa a group accordiQ& to a flexibly defined criterion. Each level of the hierarchy ia deterained by an iterative proceaa which repetitively applies a veraion of the A* aearch algoritha. Experiaenta with the prograa CLUSTEI/PAF iaplementing the method indicate that the obtained hierarchiea represent aolutiona which have a aiaple conceptual interpretation and which aeea to agree well with the way people atructure objecta.
