Syllabus

This course brings together the most important disocveries of inductive inference methods in the first order logic. As a part of that it is a project. Experience with Prolog is assumed.
Theory of inductive inference: identification in limit, identification by enumeration, other models of learning.
Introduction to inductive learning: operators of generalization and of specialization. Basic algorithms.
Inductive inference in the first order logic: inductive logic programmin(ILP), basic task of ILP, Gencon.
Top-down ILP: refinement operators and refinement trees. MIS
Interactive ILP: Queries and oracles, their types. WiM
Inductive inference and logic program synthesis: Recursive program synthesis, schema-based synthesis, SYNAPSE, DIALOGS. Synthesis by analysis of computation trace.
Empirical ILP. GOLEM,FOIL.Progol.
Complexity of ILP algorithms: PAC-learnability, PAC-learnable classes. Other models of learnability.
Applications of ILP. IILP and databases.
