Fast Estimation of Relational Pattern Coverage through Randomization and Maximum Likelihood

Fast Estimation of Relational Pattern Coverage through Randomization and Maximum Likelihood

This video was recorded at 25th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), Helsinki 2008. In inductive logic programming, theta-subsumption is a widely used coverage test. Unfortunately, testing theta-subsumption is NP-complete, which represents a crucial efficiency bottleneck for many relational learners. In this paper, we present a probabilistic estimator of clause coverage, based on a randomized restarted search strategy. Under a distribution assumption, our algorithm can estimate clause coverage without having to decide subsumption for all examples. We implement this algorithm in program ReCovEr. On generated graph data and real-world datasets, we show that ReCovEr provides reasonably accurate estimates while achieving dramatic runtimes improvements compared to a state-of-the-art algorithm
