A Perspective on Inductive Logic Programming

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Artificial Intelligence ((AI))

Summary

The state-of-the-art in inductive logic programming is surveyed by analyzing the approach taken by this field over the past 8 years. The analysis investigates the roles of 1) logic programming and machine learning, 2) theory, techniques and applications, and 3) various technical problems addressed within inductive logic programming.
