Inductive logic programming

Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) [11] is a research area in the intersection of machine learning and computational logic. The main goal is development of a theory and algorithms for inductive reasoning in first-order logic. ILP aims to construct a theory covering given facts. Given a set of positive examples , a set of negative examples , we construct a logic program P such that and . In case of noisy data we aim at a first-order logic formula that describes a significant majority of positive examples and may be a non-significant part of negative examples.
