Using Bayesian Networks to Direct Stochastic Search in Inductive Logic Programming

Stochastically searching the space of candidate clauses is an appealing way to scale up ILP to large datasets. We address an approach that uses a Bayesian network model to adaptively guide search in this space. We examine guiding search towards areas that previously performed well and towards areas that ILP has not yet thoroughly explored. We show improvement in area under the curve for recall-precision curves using these modifications.
