We study several complexity parameters for first order formulas and their suitability for first order learning models. We show that the standard notion of size is not captured by...
We describe an efficient implementation (MRDTL-2) of the Multi-relational decision tree learning (MRDTL) algorithm [23] which in turn was based on a proposal by Knobbe et al. [19] ...
This work presents the application of theory revision to the design of distributed databases to automatically revise a heuristic-based algorithm (called analysis algorithm) through...
In this paper, we investigate condensation of a clause. First, we extend a substitution graph introduced by Scheffer et al. (1996) to a total matcher graph. Then, we give a correc...
Query optimization is used frequently in relational database management systems. Most existing techniques are based on reordering the relational operators, where the most selective...
