Features in databases induce equivalence relations—but knowledge discovery takes the other way round: given a relation, what could be a suitable functional description? But the relations we work on are noisy again. If we expect to record data for learning a classification of objects then it can well be the real data does not create a reflexive, symmetric and transitive relation although we know it should be. The usual approach taken here is to build the closure in order to ensure desired properties. This, however, leads to overgeneralisation rather quickly.}, language = {en} }
