Abstract

A constraint is a relation with an active behavior. For a given relation, we propose to learn a representation adapted to this active behavior. It yields two contributions. The first is a generic meta-technique for classifier improvement showing performances comparable to boosting. The second lies in the ability of using the learned concept in constraint-based decision or optimization problems. It opens a new way of integrating Machine Learning in Decision Support Systems.
