Rule Learning with Negation: Issues Regarding Effectiveness
نویسندگان
چکیده
An investigation of rule learning processes that allow the inclusion of negated features is described. The objective is to establish whether the use of negation in inductive rule learning systems is effective with respect to classification. This paper seeks to answer this question by considering two issues relevant to such systems; feature identification and rule refinement. Both synthetic and real datasets are used to illustrate solutions to the identified issues and to demonstrate that the use of negative features in inductive rule learning systems is indeed beneficial.

Perhaps, the most appropriate translation proposed for euthanasia is the painless and piteous killing. According to the existence of effective components in committing a crime, it is considered as complicity in murder and the consent of victim does not affect the nature of criminal act and the criminal liability of person depriving the life. One of issues related to this killing which is disagr...
متن کاملNEW CRITERIA FOR RULE SELECTION IN FUZZY LEARNING CLASSIFIER SYSTEMS
Designing an effective criterion for selecting the best rule is a major problem in theprocess of implementing Fuzzy Learning Classifier (FLC) systems. Conventionally confidenceand support or combined measures of these are used as criteria for fuzzy rule evaluation. In thispaper new entities namely precision and recall from the field of Information Retrieval (IR)systems is adapted as alternative...
متن کاملLearning the Scope of Negation in Biomedical Texts
In this paper we present a machine learning system that finds the scope of negation in biomedical texts. The system consists of two memory-based engines, one that decides if the tokens in a sentence are negation signals, and another that finds the full scope of these negation signals. Our approach to negation detection differs in two main aspects from existing research on negation. First, we fo...

متن کاملAutomatic Extraction of Lexico-Syntactic Patterns for Detection of Negation and Speculation Scopes
Detecting the linguistic scope of negated and speculated information in text is an important Information Extraction task. This paper presents ScopeFinder, a linguistically motivated rule-based system for the detection of negation and speculation scopes. The system rule set consists of lexico-syntactic patterns automatically extracted from a corpus annotated with negation/speculation cues and th...
