Learning and Evolution: An Introduction to Non-darwinian Evolutionary Computation
The field of evolutionary computation has drawn inspiration from Darwinian evolution in which species adapt to the environment through random variations and selection of the fittest. This type of evolutionary ...

Generalizing Data in Natural Language
This paper concerns the development of a new direction in machine learning, called natural induction, which requires from computer-generated knowledge not only to have high predictive accuracy, but also to be in ...

Learning Symbolic User Models for Intrusion Detection: A Method and Initial Results
This paper briefly describes the LUS-MT method for automatically learning user signatures (models of computer users) from datastreams capturing users’ interactions with computers. The signatures are in the for...

A Rules-to-Trees Conversion in the Inductive Database System VINLEN
Decision trees and rules are completing methods of knowledge representation. Both have advantages in some applications. Algorithms that convert trees to rules are common. In the paper an algorithm that convert...

Incremental Learning with Partial Instance Memory
Agents that learn on-line with partial instance memory reserve some of the previously encountered examples for use in future training episodes. We extend our previous work by combining our method for selecting...

Discovering Multi-head Attributional Rules in Large Databases
A method for discovering multi-head attributional rules in large databases is presented and illustrated by results from an implemented program. Attributional rules (a.k.a. attributional dependencies) can be vi...

Learning from inconsistent and noisy data: The AQ18 approach
In concept learning or data mining tasks, the learner is typically faced with a choice of many possible hypotheses characterizing the data. If one can assume that the training data are noise-free, then the gen...

Learning for decision making: The FRD approach and a comparative study
This paper concerns the issue of what is the best form for learning, representing and using knowledge for decision making. The proposed answer is that such knowledge should be learned and represented in a decl...

The AQ17-DCI system for data-driven constructive induction and its application to the analysis of world economics
Constructive induction divides the problem of learning an inductive hypothesis into two intertwined searches: one-for the “best” representation space, and two-for the “best” hypothesis in that space. In datadrive...

Learning problem-oriented decision structures from decision rules: The AQDT-2 system
A decision structure is an acyclic graph that specifies an order of tests to be applied to an object (or a situation) to arrive at a decision about that object. and serves as a simple and powerful tool for org...

Should decision trees be learned from examples or from decision rules?
A standard method for determining decision trees is to learn them from examples. A disadvantage of this approach is that once a decision tree is learned, it is difficult to modify it to suit different decision...
