Knowledge Extraction from and with Neural Networks
A session organized by G. Thimm at the
First International Conference on Conventional and Knowledge-Based
Intelligent Electronic Systems, KES '97
21st - 23rd May 1997, Adelaide, Australia
Electronics Association of South Australia
(please see below for the KES call of papers)
Successfully trained Neural networks contain a certain knowledge:
applied to formerly unseen data, they give (often) a correct answer.
However, this knowledge is usually difficult to access, although an
intelligible qualitative or quantitative representation is of interest
in research and development:
- The performance on untrained data can be evaluated (in complement
to statistical methods).
- The extracted knowledge can be used in the development of more
efficient algorithms.
- The knowledge is of scientific interest.
Suggested topics for papers are:
- Knowledge extraction techniques from neural networks.
- Neural network architectures designed for knowledge extraction.
- Applications in which extracted knowledge plays a role.
- Ways to represent knowledge extracted from neural networks.
- Performance estimation of neural networks using extracted
knowledge.
- Methods that use knowledge extracted from a neural
network (but not the network).
Authors are invited (but not required) to point out how the extracted
knowledge is used and why neural networks as a intermediate
representation of knowledge are of advantage.
