Abstract

In this paper we investigate the lack of reliability and consistency of those binary rule learners in ILP that employ the one-vs-rest binarisation technique when dealing with multi-class domains. We show that we can learn a simple, consistent and reliable multi-class theory by combining the rules of the multiple one-vs-rest theories into one rule list or set. We experimentally show that our proposed methods produce coherent and accurate rule models from the rules learned by a well known ILP learner Aleph.
