Abstract

A brief survey is given of learning theory in a logic framework, concluding with some topics for further research. The idea of learning using logic is traced back to Turing’s 1951 radio address [15]. An early seminal result is that clauses have a least general generalization [18]. Another important concept is inverse resolution [16]. As the most common formalism is logic programs, the area is often referred to as inductive logic programming, with yearly ILP conferences since 1991.
