Extract

Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) is an emerging research area at the intersection of machine learning, logic programming and software engineering. The first workshop on this topic was held in 1991 in Portugal (Muggleton, 1991). Subsequently, there was a workshop tied to the Future Generation Computer System Conference in Japan in 1992, and a third one in Bled, Slovenia, in April 1993 (Muggleton, 1993). Ideas related to ILP are also appearing in major AI and machine learning conferences and journals. Although European-based and mainly sponsored by ESPRIT, ILP aims at becoming equally represented elsewhere; for example, among researchers in America who are investigating relational learning and first order theory revision (see, for example, the papers in Birnbaum and Collins, 1991) and within the computational learning theory community. This year's IJCAI workshop on ILP is a first step in this direction, and includes recent work with a broader range of perspectives and techniques.
