Abstract
First-order learning involves finding a clause-form definition of a relation from examples of the relation and relevant background information. In this paper, a particular first-order learning system is modified to customize it for finding definitions of functional relations. This restriction leads to faster learning times and, in some cases, to definitions that have higher predictive accuracy. Other first-order learning systems might benefit from similar specialization.

Rule discovery : error measures and conditional rule probability

TL;DR: Various error measures are compared, including average error, mean square error, probability difference and prediction factor, to evaluate their appropriateness for rule discovery and a method of estimating conditional probabilities for a single rule and as a novelty, for rule sets is studied.
