Abstract

This chapter discusses a revised branch-and-bound (B&B) algorithm for inferring a single clause (in CNF or DNF) from two disjoint sets of binary training examples. This algorithm is an extension of the B&B algorithm described in the previous chapter. Now the states of the search space are described by using more information and this seems to be critical in leading to good search results faster. This chapter is based on the developments first presented in [ Triantaphyllou, 1994].
