Abstract

Probabilistic relational modelling and learning is used for the problem of diagnosing lung cancer based on data obtained from peak clusters in ion mobility spectra. Markov Logic Networks and the MLN system Alchemy are employed for various modelling and learning scenarios which are evaluated with respect to ease of use, classification accuracy, and knowledge representation aspects.

The research reported here was partially supported by the DFG (BE 1700/7-1 and KE 1413/2-1), by Germany’s high-tech strategy funds (Project Metabolit-01SF0716) and by the European Union (Project No. 217967). We thank Dr. M. Westhoff (Lung clinic Hemer), Dr. Th. Perl (University Göttingen), B. Bödeker, and B&S Analytik for their successful cooperation, valuable contribution, and general support.
