Abstract
This paper describes the basic framework and the latest configuration of a knowledge acquisition system named KAISER. This system inductively learns classification knowledge in the form of a decision tree, and analyzes the results and the processes with domain and task specific knowledge to detect improper states. Then it asks suggestive questions to eliminate the improprieties and acquires new domain knowledge for the next induction cycle. One of the final objectives of this research is to frame a unified theory in the classification trees' paradigm arguing: (1) what means to have a good/bad tree; (2) why it is good/bad; and (3) how to obtain a better one. To achieve this goal, KAISER has been enhanced with a meta-leamer named Meta-KAISER to accumulate the meta-knowledge by keeping track of the experts' response of domain level interaction.
