A measurement that can predict the perceived spatial impression of sounds and provide the results in an intuitive manner would be a useful tool to aid the development of sound recording and reproduction systems. In this paper the term ‘spatial impression’ is intended as an overall descriptor which refers to all perceivable attributes that can be described in terms of three physical dimensions, ...

Learning rules is a common way of extracting useful information from knowledge or data bases. Many of such data sets contain numerical attributes. However, approaches like Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) or association rule mining are optimized for data with categorical values, and considering numerical attributes is expensive. In this paper, we present an extension to the top-down ILP algori...
