Abstract: Although backpropagation neural networks generally predict better than decision trees do for pattern classification problems, they are often regarded as black boxes, i.e., their predictions cannot be explained as those of decision trees. In many applications, more often than not, explicit knowledge is needed by human experts. This work drives a symbolic representation for neural networks to make explicit each prediction of a neural network. An algorithm is proposed and implemented to... (Update)
