Abstract

We present BUFOIDL, a new bottom-up algorithm for learning first order decision lists. Although first order decision lists have potential as a representation for learning concepts that include exceptions, such as language constructs, previous systems suffered from limitations that we seek to overcome in BUFOIDL. We present experiments comparing BUFOIDL to previous work in the area, demonstrating the system's potential.
