An in-house elaborated and implemented covering algorithm was applied. For the development of learning models (in the form of production rules), used then for computer-assisted classification (hence, diagnosing) of melanoma spots on the skin. In our research, four types of marks (namely, Benign nevus, Blue nevus, Suspicious nevus, and Melanoma malignant) have be en investigated. One of the generated learning models (the most promimissing one) was optimized by execution of selected generic operations on production rules, what lead to a very concise set of rules (4 rules only) giving errorless classification of unseen cases tested.
