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.12

Historical context

The interaction and the integration between multiagent systems and data mining have a long history.34 The very early work on agent mining focused on agent-based knowledge discovery,5 agent-based distributed data mining,67 and agent-based distributed machine learning,8 and using data mining to enhance agent intelligence.9

The International Workshop on Agents and Data Mining Interaction10 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.
