A generalized rule induction mechanism, immune algorithm, for knowledge bases is building an inheritance hierarchy of classes based on the content of their knowledge objects. This hierarchy facilitates group-related processing tasks such as answering set queries, discriminating between objects, finding similarities among objects, etc. Building this hierarchy is a difficult task for knowledge engineers. Conceptual induction may be used to automate or assist engineers in the creation of such a classification structure. This paper introduces a new conceptual rule induction method, which addresses the problem of clustering large amounts of structured objects. The conditions under which the method is applicable are discussed.
