abstract = "A data mining procedure for automatic determination of
fuzzy decision tree structure using a genetic program
is discussed. A genetic program is an algorithm that
evolves other algorithms or mathematical expressions.
Methods of accelerating convergence of the data mining
procedure including a new innovation based on computer
algebra are examined. Experimental results related to
using computer algebra are given. A comparison between
a tree obtained using a genetic program and one
constructed solely by interviewing experts is made. A
genetic program evolved tree is shown to be superior to
one created by hand using expertise alone. Finally,
additional methods that have been used to validate the
data mining algorithm are discussed",
