Abstract

Formalization of scientific knowledge in life sciences by experts in biology or Systematics produces arborescent representations whose values could be present, absent or unknown. To improve the robustness of the classification process of those complex objects, often partially described, we propose a new classification method which is iterative, interactive and semi-directed. It combines inductive techniques for the choice of discriminating variables and search for nearest neighbors based on various similarity measures which take into account structures and values of the objects for the neighborhood computation.
