Generating Readable Proofs: A Heuristic Approach to Theorem Proving With Spider Diagrams
An important aim of diagrammatic reasoning is to make it easier for people to create and understand logical arguments. We have worked on spider diagrams, which visually express log...

Drawing Graphs in Euler Diagrams
We describe a method for drawing graph-enhanced Euler diagrams using a three stage method. The first stage is to lay out the underlying Euler diagram using a multicriteria optimizi...

Decision Diagrams in Machine Learning: An Empirical Study on Real-Life Credit-Risk Data
Decision trees are a widely used knowledge representation in machine learning. However, one of their main drawbacks is the inherent replication of isomorphic subtrees, as a result...
