The SeCo-framework for rule learning
Frederik W. Janssen, Johannes Fürnkranz · 2010
This document describes a rule learning framework called SeCo (derived from Separate-and-Conquer). This framework uses building blocks to specify each component that is needed to build up a configuration for a rule learner. It is based on a general separate-and-conquer algorithm. The framework allows to configurate any given rule learner that fulfills some properties. These are mainly that it employs a separate-and-conquer strategy and therefor uses a top-down approach. All other building blocks are freely configurable within the framework. To evaluate the configured algorithm, a stand-alone evaluation framework was implemented. It allows to configurate all parameters necessary for the evaluation part.
