Margin-based first-order rule learning
Abstract We present a new margin-based approach to first-order rule learning. The approach addresses many of the prominent challenges in first-order rule learning, such as the comp...

On the connection between the phase transition of the covering test and the learning success rate in ILP
It is well-known that heuristic search in ILP is prone to plateau phenomena. An explanation can be given after the work of Giordana and Saitta: the ILP covering test is NP-complete...

Incorporating prior knowledge in support vector regression
This paper explores the addition of constraints to the linear programming formulation of the support vector regression problem for the incorporation of prior knowledge. Equality an...

Feature selection via sensitivity analysis of SVM probabilistic outputs
Feature selection is an important aspect of solving data-mining and machine-learning problems. This paper proposes a feature-selection method for the Support Vector Machine (SVM) l...

A linear fit gets the correct monotonicity directions
Let f be a function on Rd that is monotonic in every variable. There are 2d possible assignments to the directions of monotonicity (two per variable). We provide sufficient condit...

Inductive process modeling
In this paper, we pose a novel research problem for machine learning that involves constructing a process model from continuous data. We claim that casting learned knowledge in ter...

Discovering significant patterns
Pattern discovery techniques, such as association rule discovery, explore large search spaces of potential patterns to find those that satisfy some user-specified constraints. Due...

QG/GA: a stochastic search for Progol
Most search techniques within ILP require the evaluation of a large number of inconsistent clauses. However, acceptable clauses typically need to be consistent, and are only found ...
