DFG Project GLocSyn
Our project proposal Towards A Synthesis of Local and Global Pattern Discovery has been accepted by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
In this project, we will try to find a common conceptual basis of local rule discovery methods (such as subgroup discovery), and conventional methods for inducing rule-based classifiers, which may be re-interpreted as general techniques for combining local patterns into a global theory.
The project will start in September 2006 for a duration of two years.
