This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming, ILP 2008, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in September 2008. The 20 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of 5 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 46 initial submissions. All current topics in inductive logic programming are covered, ranging from theoretical and methodological issues to advanced applications. The papers present original results in the first-order logic representation framework, explore novel logic induction frameworks, and address also new areas such as statistical relational learning, graph mining, or the semantic Web.
This can lead to subop- timal results given prediction tasks. On the other hand
better results in prediction problems have been achieved by discriminative
learning of MLNs weights given a certain structure. In this paper we propose an
algorithm for learning the structure of MLNs discriminatively by max- imimizing
the conditional likelihood of the query predicates instead of the joint likelihood of
all predicates. The algorithm chooses the structures by maximizing conditional
likelihood and ...
Annotation This book comprises a selection of papers from IFSA 2007 on new methods and theories that contribute to the foundations of fuzzy logic and soft computing. These papers were selected from over 400 submissions and constitute an important contribution to the theory and applications of fuzzy logic and soft computing methodologies. Soft Computing consists of several computing paradigms, including fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms, and other techniques, which can be used to produce powerful intelligent systems for solving real-world problems. This book is intended to be a major reference for scientists and engineers interested in applying new computational and mathematical tools to achieve intelligent solution to complex problems. We consider that this book can also be used to get novel ideas for new lines of research, or to continue the lines of research proposed by the authors of the papers contained in the book. The 80 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected form more than 400 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on relation between interval and fuzzy techniques, intuitionistic fuzzy sets and their applications, the application of fuzzy logic and soft computing in flexible querying, philosophical and human-scientific aspects of soft computing, search engine and information processing and retrieval, perception based data mining and decision making, joint model-based and data-based learning: the fuzzy logic approach, fuzzy possibilistic optimization, fuzzy trees, fuzzy logic theory, type-2 fuzzy logic, fuzzy logic applications, neural networks and control, as well as intelligent agents and knowledge ant colony.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 18th International Workshop on Functional and Constraint Logic Programming, WFLP 2009, held in Brasilia, Brazil, in June 2009 as part of RDP 2009, the Federated Conference on Rewriting, Deduction, and Programming. The 9 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 14 initial workshop contributions. The papers cover current research in all areas of functional and constraint logic programming including typical areas of interest, such as foundational issues, language design, implementation, transformation and analysis, software engineering, integration of paradigms, and applications.
This paper presents a taxonomy of some exact, right-to-left, string-matching
algorithms. The taxonomy is based on results obtained by using logic program
transformation over a naive and nondeterministic specification. A derivation of the
search part and some notes about the preprocessing part of each algorithm is
presented. The derivations show several design decisions behind each algorithm
, and allow us to organize the algorithms within a taxonomic tree, giving us a
better ...
This vanguard collection of original and in-depth essays explores the intricate interplay of the aesthetic and psychological domains during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and considers the reasons why a common Modernist project took shape when and in the circumstances that it did. These changes occurred precisely when the distinctively modern disciplines of psychology, psychiatry, and psychoanalysis established their "scientific” foundations and achieved the forms in which we largely know them today. This volume examines the dense web of connections joining the aesthetic and psychological realms in the modern era, charting historically the emergence of the ongoing modern discussion surrounding such issues as identity-formation, sexuality, and the unconscious. The contributors form a distinguished and diversified group of scholars, who write about a wide range of cultural fields, including philosophy, the novel and poetry, drama, dance, film and photography, as well as medicine, psychology, and the occult sciences.

While the 'woman question' in the Arabic novel has received considerable attention, the 'male question' has gone largely unnoticed. This book challenges that trend, offering a nuanced understanding of literary imaginings of masculinity and femininity in the context of the 'national' canon of Egypt.
