[Title] Constructing Intermediate Concepts by Decomposition of Real Functions [Abstract] In learning from examples it is often useful to expand an attribute-vector representation by intermediate concepts. The usual advantage of such structuring of the learning problem is that it makes the learning easier and improves the comprehensibility of induced descriptions. In this paper, we develop a technique for discovering useful intermediate concepts when both the class and the attributes are real-valued. The technique is based on a decomposition method originally developed for the design of switching circuits and recently extended to handle incompletely specified multi-valued functions. It was also applied to machine learning tasks. In this paper, we introduce modifications, needed to decompose real functions and to present them in symbolic form. The method is evaluated on a number of test functions. The results show that the method correctly decomposes fairly complex functions. The decomposition hierarchy does not depend on a given repertoir of basic functions (background knowledge). Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] Machine Learning by Function Decomposition [Abstract] We present a new machine learning method that, given a set of training examples, induces a definition of the target concept in terms of a hierarchy of intermediate concepts and their definitions. This effectively decomposes the problem into smaller, less complex problems. The method is inspired by the Boolean function decomposition approach to the design of digital circuits. To cope with high time complexity of finding an optimal decomposition, we propose a suboptimal heuristic algorithm. The method, implemented in program HINT (HIerarchy Induction Tool), is experimentally evaluated using a set of artificial and real-world learning problems. It is shown that the method performs well both in terms of classification accuracy and discovery of meaningful concept hierarchies. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] Pattern Theoretic Feature Extraction and Constructive Induction [Abstract] This paper offers a perspective on features and pattern finding in general. This perspective is based on a robust complexity measure called Decomposed Function Car-dinality. A function decomposition algorithm for minimizing this complexity measure and finding the associated features is outlined. Results from experiments with this algorithm are also summarized. Please summarise all the given information.

[Title] A dataset decomposition approach to data mining and machine discovery [Abstract] We present a novel data mining approach based on decomposition. In order to analyze a given dataset, the method decomposes it to a hierarchy of smaller and less complex datasets that can be analyzed independently. The method is experimentally evaluated on a real-world housing loans allocation dataset, showing that the decomposition can (1) discover meaningful intermediate concepts, (2) decompose a relatively complex dataset to datasets that are easy to analyze and comprehend, and (3) derive a classifier of high classification accuracy. We also show that human interaction has a positive effect on both the comprehensibility and classification accuracy. Please summarise all the given information.
