Machine Learning: ECML-95: 8th European Conference on Machine Learning, Heraclion, Crete, Greece, April 25 - 27, 1995. Proceedings [Paperback]

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the Eighth European Conference on Machine Learning ECML-95, held in Heraclion, Crete in April 1995.
Besides four invited papers the volume presents revised versions of 14 long papers and 26 short papers selected from a total of 104 submissions. The papers address all current aspects in the area of machine learning; also logic programming, planning, reasoning, and algorithmic issues are touched upon.Reasoning and learning in probabilistic and possibilistic networks: An overview.- Problem decomposition and the learning of skills.- Machine learning in the world wide web.- Abstract computer models: Towards a new method for theorizing about adaptive agents.- Learning abstract planning cases.- The role of prototypicality in exemplar-based learning.- Specialization of recursive predicates.- A distributed genetic algorithm improving the generalization behavior of neural networks.- Learning non-monotonic logic programs: Learning exceptions.- A comparative utility analysis of case-based reasoning and control-rule learning systems.- A minimization approach to propositional inductive learning.- On concept space and hypothesis space in case-based learning algorithms.- The power of decision tables.- Pruning multivariate decision trees by hyperplane merging.- Multiple-Knowledge Representations in concept learning.- The effect of numeric features on the scalability of inductive learning programs.- Analogical logic program synthesis from examples.- A guided tour through hypothesis spaces in ILP.- JIGSAW: Puzzling together RUTH and SPECTRE (Extended abstract).- Discovery of constraints and data dependencies in relational databases (Extended abstract).- Learning disjunctive normal forms in a dual classifier system (Extended abstract).- The effects of noise on efficient incremental induction (Extended abstract).- Analysis of Rachmaninoff's piano performances using inductive logic programming (Extended abstract).- Handling real numberslS,
