Introduction to Statistical Relational Learning

Edited by Lise Getoor and Ben Taskar

Handling inherent uncertainty and exploiting compositional structure are fundamental to understanding and designing large-scale systems. Statistical relational learning builds on ideas from probability theory and statistics to address uncertainty while incorporating tools from logic, databases, and programming languages to represent structure.

Predicting Structured Data

Edited by Gökhan BakIr, Thomas Hofmann, Bernhard Schölkopf, Alexander J. Smola, Ben Taskar and S.V.N Vishwanathan

Machine learning develops intelligent computer systems that are able to generalize from previously seen examples. A new domain of machine learning, in which the prediction must satisfy the additional constraints found in structured data, poses one of machine learning’s greatest challenges: learning functional dependencies between arbitrary input and output domains. This volume presents and analyzes the state of the art in machine learning algorithms and theory in this novel field.
