Theory reconstruction: a representation learning view on predicate invention

Abstract: With this positional paper we present a representation learning view on predicate invention. The intention of this proposal is to bridge the relational and deep learning communities on the problem of predicate invention. We propose a theory reconstruction approach, a formalism that extends autoencoder approach to representation learning to the relational settings. Our intention is to start a discussion to define a unifying framework for predicate invention and theory revision.
