Functional genomics is a typical scientific discovery domain characterized by a very large number of attributes (genes) relative to the number of examples (observations). The dang...
Occam’s razor is the principle that, given two hypotheses consistent with the observed data, the simpler one should be preferred. Many machine learning algorithms follow this pr...
Subgroup discovery can be applied for exploration or descriptive induction in order to discover "interesting" subgroups of the general population, given a certain proper...
In this paper we present an average-case analysis of the nearest neighbor algorithm, a simple induction method that has been studied by manyresearchers. Our analysis assumes a con...
We propose a simple approach to combining first-order logic and probabilistic graphical models in a single representation. A Markov logic network (MLN) is a first-order knowledge b...
