ARTIFICIAL ENDOCRINE SYSTEM: A NEW PARADIGM OF KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY.

We propose an artificial endocrine system (AES) for extracting the knowledge from database so that effective and reliable decision rules can be constructed. The proposed AES mimics the functionality of biological endocrine system (BES) to some extent. A mathematical model is proposed for expressive representation of endocrine system as well as for homeostasis. Further, different aspects of our proposed "Artificial endocrine system for knowledge discovery" (AESKD) have been compared with state of art classifiers e.g., support vector machine, neural network, radial basis function (RBF) network and K-NN for some bench mark datasets.
