Learning First Order Fuzzy Logic Rules

The paper presents an algorithm based on Inductive Logic Programming for inducing first order Horn clauses involving fuzzy predicates from a database. For this, a probabilistic processing of fuzzy function is used, in agreement with the handling of probabilities in first order logic. This technique is illustrated on an experimental application. The interest of learning fuzzy first order logic expressions is emphasized.
