Student project: Machine Learning

Suitable For

M.Sc. Conversion (Research Project)
M.Sc. Global
4th year final project
3d year final project

Number of People

1-3

Synopsis

The Machine Learning group investigates various forms of learning from data. One of the projects involves induction of integrity constraints, i.e. anything other than classification rules. An operational system called PRIMUS has been implemented. The next step is to apply and evaluate the system on selected data-sets. This involves data acquisition and preparation, comparisons with other systems, suggesting improvements, etc.

Objectives

Evaluation of the PRIMUS system on real-world and benchmark data.

Deliverables

To be specified.

Skills Required

a general understanding of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Tools/Environments

Unix, C, Prolog, possibly Java

Benefit to Student

To take part in some genuine and valuable artificial intelligence research;
To become thoroughly familiar with the state of the art in a very promising area of computer science.
