A Structural Learning Algorithm and Its Application to Predictive Toxicology Evaluation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNIP,volume 3704))

Abstract

A common problem encountered in structural pattern recognition is the difficulty of constructing classification models or rules from a set of examples, due to the complexity of the structures needed to represent the patterns. In this paper we present an extension of a method for structural learning applied to predictive toxicology evaluation.
