A sequence-length sensitive approach to learning biological grammars using inductive logic programming

This thesis aims to investigate if the ideas behind compression principles, such as the Minimum Description Length, can help us to improve the process of learning biological grammars from protein sequences using Inductive Logic Programming (ILP). Contrary to most traditional ILP learning problems, b...
