Popis: Although Artificial Neural Network (ANN) usually reaches high classification accuracy, the obtained results in most cases may be incomprehensible. This fact is causing a serious problem in data mining applications. The rules that are derived from ANN are needed to be formed to solve this problem and various methods have been improved to extract these rules. In our previous work, a hybrid neural network was presented for classification (Kahramanli & Allahverdi, 2008). In this study a method that uses Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) algorithm has been presented to extract rules from trained hybrid neural network. The data were obtained from the University of California at Irvine (UCI) machine learning repository. The datasets are Cleveland heart disease and Hepatitis data. The proposed method achieved accuracy values 96.4% and 96.8% for Cleveland heart disease dataset and Hepatitis dataset respectively. It is been observed that these results are one of the best results comparing with results obtained from related previous studies and reported in UCI web sites.
