Abstract:

Discovering efficient algorithms is central to computer science. In this thesis, we aim to discover efficient programs (algorithms) using machine learning. Specifically, we claim we can efficiently learn programs (Claim 1), and learn efficient programs (Claim 2). In contrast to universal induction methods, which learn programs using only examples, we introduce program induction techniques which additionally use background knowledge to improve learning efficiency. We focus on inductive logic programming (ILP), a form of program induction which uses logic programming to represent examples, backg

Abstract:

First-order logic can be used to represent relations amongst objects. Probabilistic graphical models encode uncertainty over propositional data. Following the demand of combining the advantages of both representations, probabilistic logic programs provide the ability to encode uncertainty over relational data. PRISM is a probabilistic logic programming formalism based on the distribution semantics. PRISM allows learning the parameters when the programs are known. This thesis proposes algorithms to learn failure-free PRISM programs. It combines ideas from both areas of inductive logic programmi

Abstract:

The goal of Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) is to find a hypothesis that explains a set of examples in the context of some pre-existing background knowledge. Until recently, most research on ILP targeted learning definite logic programs. This thesis constitutes the first comprehensive work on learning answer set programs, introducing new learning frameworks, theoretical results on the complexity and generality of these frameworks, algorithms for learning ASP programs, and an extensive evaluation of these algorithms. Although there is previous work on learning ASP programs, existing learning

Abstract:

Published Article<br>People have tried different ways to make machines intelligent. One option is to use a simulated neural net as a platform for Genetic Algorithms. Neural nets are a combination of neurons in a certain pattern. Neurons in a neural net system are a simulation of neurons in an organism's brain. Genetic Algorithms represent an emulation of evolution in nature. The question arose as to why write a program to simulate neurons if a program can execute the functions a combination of neurons would generate. For this reason a virtual robot indicated in Figure 1 was made "intelligent"

Abstract:

To learn a probabilistic logic program is to find a set of probabilistic rules that best fits some data, in order to explain how attributes relate to one another and to predict the occurrence of new instantiations of these attributes. In this work, we focus on acyclic programs, because in this case the meaning of the program is quite transparent and easy to grasp. We propose that the learning process for a probabilistic acyclic logic program should be guided by a scoring function imported from the literature on Bayesian network learning. We suggest novel techniques that lead to orders of magni

Most work that is done within machine learning today uses statistical methods which assume that the data is identically and independently distributed. However, the problem domains that we face in the real world are often much more complicated and present both complex relational/logical parts as well as parts with uncertainty. Statistical relational learning (SRL) is a sub-ﬁeld of machine learning and A.I. that tries to solve these limitations by combining both relational and statistical learning and has become a big research sector in recent years.

This paper deals with a measure theoretical model for evaluation of e-learning programs. Based on methods of general measure theory an evaluation model is developed which can be used for assessment of complex target structures in context of e-learning programs. With the presented rating function target structures can be evaluated by a scoring value which indicates how the targets in sense of a given logical target structure has been reached. A procedure is developed for the estimation of scoring values for target structures based on adapted assessment checklists.

The Induction on Failure (IOF) proof procedure, based on the connected theory generalisation method, adds secondary examples into the hypothesis, and generates auxiliary clauses to explain them.
