We describe a methodology for upgrading existing attribute value learners towards rst order logic. This method has several advantages: one can pro t from existing research on propositional learners (and inherit its e ciency and e ectiveness), relational learners (and inherit its expressiveness) and PAC-learning (and inherit its theoretical basis). Moreover there is a clear relationship between the new relational system and its propositional counterpart. This makes the ILP system easy to use and understand by users familiar with the propositional counterpart. We demonstrate the methodology on the ICL system which is an upgrade of the propositional learner CN2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
