Induction of Feature Terms with INDIE

Abstract

The aim of relational learning is to develop methods for the induction of descriptions in representation formalisms that are more expressive than attribute-value representation. Feature terms have been studied to formalize object-centered representation in declarative languages and can be seen as a subset of first-order logic. We present a representation formalism based on feature terms and we show how induction can be performed in a natural way using a notion of subsumption based on an informational ordering. Moreover feature terms also allow to specify incomplete information in a natural way. An example of such inductive methods, indie , is presented. indie performs bottom-up heuristic search on the subsumption lattice of the feature term space. Results of this method on several domains are explained.
