QuickFOIL: Scalable Inductive Logic Programming
Summary: QuickFOIL: scalable ILP for learning first-order rules from relational data. Novel scoring and aggressive pruning enable large-scale ILP; in-RDBMS implementation tackles query processing and delivers orders-of-magnitude efficiency on hundreds of millions of tuples.
