Autonomous knowledge discovery system and method
First Claim
1. A data analysis system, comprising:
- a database;
a data interface coupled to the database for accessing data from the database;
a cluster estimation tool for estimating a first number of clusters based on one or more characteristics of the database;
a data reduction module coupled to the data interface, the data reduction module comprising at least one data reduction function for reducing the data into at least one cluster based on the first number of clusters;
a data analysis module for analyzing the at least one cluster to determine a correlation among the data.

Abstract
A knowlege discovery system (10) is provided for autonomously discovering knowlege from a database. The system includes a data reduction module (50) which reduces data into one or more clusters. This is accomplished by the use of one or more functions including a genetic clustering function, a hierarchical valley formation function, a symbolic exspansion reduction function, a fuzzy case clustering function, a relational clustering function, a K-means clustering function, a Kohonen neural network clustering function, and a minimum distance classifier clustering function. A data analysis modual (60) autonomously determines one or more correlations among the clusters. The corrolations represent knowlege.
