Abstract
A method of processing data relating to a plurality of examples using a data classifier arranged to classify input data into one of a number of classes, and a rule inducer, comprising the steps of:(i) inputting a series of inputs to the data classifier so as to obtain a series of corresponding outputs;(ii) inputting said series of outputs and at least some of said series of inputs to the rule inducer so as to obtain a series of rules which describe relationships between the series of inputs to the data classifier and the series of corresponding outputs from the data classifier.
