Intelligent data mining for automatic face recognition

The advancement in computer science and information technology is one of the most important characteristics of the century. One of the important consequences of this advancement is the availability of huge number of automated databases which are waiting to be exploited. This exploitation will lead to knowledge discovery which will help the decision making processes in many fields. In this paper a knowledge discovery, data mining, artificial intelligent technique called Logical Analysis of Data (LAD) is introduced and applied to the well know problem of face recognition. Knowledge discovered in the form of patterns is saved and then used in a machine learning system in order to identify the already learned faces, and to distinguish them from unknown faces. The results show that LAD is promising approach to pattern recognition.
