Abstract

In this paper, we study exact learning of logic programs from entailment queries and present a polynomial time algorithm to learn a rich class of logic programs that allow local variables and include many standard programs like addition, multiplication, exponentiation, member, prefix, suffix, length, append, merge, split, delete, insert, insertion-sort, quick-sort, merge-sort, preorder and inorder traversal of binary trees, polynomial recognition, derivatives, sum of a list of naturals. Our algorithm asks at most polynomial number of queries and our class is the largest of all the known classes of programs learnable from entailment.
