Team work on Inductive Logic Programming

The goal of this task is to gain experience with Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) systems. The work should be done using the Aleph ILP system. The following topics should be experimented: We will value:
  1. the choices made to perform the experiments, and/or,
  2. the discussion of the results achieved, and/or,
  3. suggestions to improve the techniques.

Evaluation

The work is to be done by a team of 2 students. Each team must choose its own set of two search techniques. The report must be sent by email to Ricardo Rocha until February 22, 2008. The report should consist of up to 25 pages, written in English and should always include:
  1. Student identification.
  2. Report Title.
  3. An Introduction, stating the experiments done and motivating the report.
  4. The description of the search techniques evaluated
  5. The settings of the experiments
  6. The results obtained and the discussion of such results
  7. Conclusion

As discussed above, we will value the report on whether it shows understanding of and critical opinion of the research. Further, reports must be concise and clear.

Originality on the discussion of the related work, experiments with the subject of the report, and being able to connect to one's work will improve the score.
