SkILL - A Stochastic Inductive Logic Learner
2015
2015 IEEE 14th International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA)
SkILL can then use probabilistic data to extract non-trivial knowledge from databases, and also address efficiency issues by introducing an efficient search strategy for finding hypotheses in PILP environments ...
Data in several domains such as medicine and bioinformatics have an inherent degree of uncertainty, and because SkILL can handle this type of data, the models produced for these areas are closer to reality ...
