Abstract

This work describes an algorithm for rulediscovery in databases called AntMiner. Theobjective of the algorithm is the extraction ofclassification rules to be applied to unseen dataas a decision aid. The algorithm used todiscover such rules is inspired in the behaviorof a real ant colony, as well as some conceptsof information theory and data mining.AntMiner was applied to medical databases toobtain classification rules
