✦ Synopsis


We devise a method to generate descriptive classification rules of shape contours by using inductive learning. The classification rules are represented in the form of logic programs. We first transform input objects from pixel representation into predicate representation. The transformation consists of preprocessing, feature extraction and symbolic transformation. We then use FOIL which is an indictive logic programming system to produce classification rules. Experiments on two sets of data were performed to justify our proposed method.
