Knowledge-Based Classification Algorithms Knowledge-Based Classification Algorithms Knowledge-based classification algorithms refer to a category of machine learning algorithms that employ pre-existing knowledge or rules to classify novel instances or data points. The algorithms in question are dependent on a knowledge base, which is a compilation of established patterns, rules, or associations among attributes, for the purpose of predicting outcomes or assigning class designations to unobserved data. In contrast to conventional classification algorithms that acquire patterns or rules directly from the training data, knowledge-based classification algorithms utilise pre-existing knowledge or domain expertise to steer the classification procedure. Pre-existing knowledge can be sourced from human experts or obtained from pre-existing resources such as databases, ontologies, or expe...
