6 - Decomposition

Decomposition

Important feature of RULES-IS

  • Facilitates generation of Antibodies (Rules)
  • Helps prevent creation of rules that misclassify
  • Allows wildcards to be used

Uses Immune Network

  • When an Ab is found that misclassifies
  • Drills down to antibody that doesn't misclassify
  • Antigens released go back to list of examples for training
If an antibody has a 100% match with an antigen, but the class of the antigen is not equal to the class of the antibody, this necessitates that the antibody be decomposed.  The algorithm will essentially "drill-down" through the layers of the immune network until an antibody that does not produce an inconsistent classification is retrieved.  The antigens that were bound to the antibody are then appended to the list of antigens that have yet to be presented to the system. The antibody is then placed in the active layer.
