Abstract

The clausal discovery engine claudien is presented. CLAUDIEN is an inductive logic programming enginethat fits in the descriptive data mining paradigm. CLAUDIEN addressescharacteristic induction from interpretations, a task which is relatedto existing formalisations of induction in logic.In characteristic induction from interpretations,the regularities are represented by clausal theories,and the data using Herbrand interpretations.Because CLAUDIEN uses clausal logicto represent hypotheses, the regularities inducedtypically involve multiple relations or predicates.CLAUDIEN also employs a novel declarative bias mechanismto define the set of clauses that may appear in a hypothesis.
