Logical Analysis of Data (LAD) is a novel approach to
extract knowledge from data using logical concepts. In its original form, the
complete LAD process contains several bottlenecks which make the method not
suitable to large scale problems. This project focuses on the elaboration of
new algorithms for various phases of the process, in order to reduce the
overall computational complexity, so that LAD can be applied to a larger
family of problems. Another important goal of our research is to extend LAD to
handle classification problems of arbitrary number of classes (so far it is
limited to the discrimination between two classes only). A preliminary study
of this problem was presented at ISMP'97 in Lausanne.
