Abstract

Inductive logic programming (ILP) is concerned with the development of tools for multirelational data mining. Besides the ability to deal directly with data stored in multiple tables, ILP systems are usually able to take into account generally valid background (domain) knowledge in the form of a logic program. They also use the powerful language of logic programs for describing discovered patterns. This article gives a brief introduction to the basic notions of ILP, presents some of the main ILP approaches, and points out some successful applications of ILP methods.
