Agent mining explained

Agent Mining is a research field that combines two areas of computer science: multiagent systems and data mining. It explores how intelligent computer agents can work together to discover, analyze, and learn from large amounts of data more effectively than traditional methods.^{[1] [2]}

Historical context

The interaction and integration between multiagent systems and data mining have a long history.^{[3] [4]} The very early work on agent mining focused on agent-based knowledge discovery,^[5] agent-based distributed data mining,^{[6] [7]} and agent-based distributed machine learning,^[8] and using data mining to enhance agent intelligence.^[9]

The International Workshop on Agents and Data Mining Interaction^[10] has been held for more than 10 times, co-located with the International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. Several proceedings are available from Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
