Abstract

A Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) system with probability deduction capability is expected to provide more information for decision making. Based on Bacchus probability logic and formal concept analysis, we propose a logic model for KDD with probability deduction. We use formal concept analysis within the semantics of probability logic to import the notion of concept into modeling of KDD. One of the most important features of a KDD system is its ability to discover previously unknown and potentially useful patterns. We formalize the definitions of previously unknown and potentially useful patterns.
