Abstract

We compare our graph-based relational concept learning approach “SubdueCL” with the ILP systems FOIL and Progol. In order to be fair in the comparison, we use the conceptual graphs representation. Conceptual graphs have a standard translation from graphs into logic. In this way, we introduce less bias during the translation process. We experiment with different types of domains. First, we show our experiments with an artificial domain to describe how SubdueCL performs with the conceptual graphs representation. Second, we experiment with several flat and relational domains. The results of the comparison show that the SubdueCL system is competitive with ILP systems in both flat and relational domains.
