Traumatic dislocation of the knee is an uncommon but serious injury, associated with extensive soft-tissue damage and the danger ofneurological and vascular involvement. Kennedy (1963) described twenty-two cases, discussing the mechanism of production and the high incidence of popliteal artery involvement, particularly in anterior dislocations. Griswold ( 195 1 ) and Quinlan and Sharrard ( 1958...

Computational learning systems attempt to improve performance with experience, according to some pre-de ned performance dimensions. Many such systems induce rule sets that function as simple knowledge bases (e.g., Quinlan, 1986). Simon (1983) argued that learning can be more e cient than programming for large knowledge-based systems. Thus, hybrid systems involving large knowledge bases may pro ...

Agent-oriented programming is a new paradigm for conceptualizing a computational system (Shoham, 1993), differing primarily from object-oriented programming in the inclusion of mental state in each of the processes. This paper offers two special-case versions (or idioms) of agent-oriented programming that encapsulates master-slave and peer-peer type interactions in simple protocols. These two i...

The split attribute in the decision tree algorithm, especially C4.5, has an important influence producing a performance that high predictive performance. This study aims to perform C4.5 algorithm using value of termination coefficient (R2/R Square) which is combined with aim increasing model produced by itself. data used this research are public datasets and private datasets. combines developed...

Recently, there has been increasing interest in systems that induce firstorder logic programs. In this formalism, domain knowledge represented in the forms of first-order relations can be used in the induced programs. The task of inducing a logic program can be formulated as a search problem (Mitchell 1982) in a hypotheses space of logic programs. Various approaches (Quinlan 1990; Muggleton and...
