Call for Papers
The ILP conference series, started in 1991, is the premier
international forum for learning from structured data. Originally
focusing on the induction of logic programs, it broadened its scope and
attracted a lot of attention and interest in recent years. In keeping
with its tradition, but also reflecting its broadening scope, authors
are invited to submit papers presenting original results on all aspects
of learning in logic, as well as multi-relational data mining and
learning, statistical relational learning, graph and tree mining, and
learning in other (non-propositional) logic-based knowledge
representation frameworks. Challenge papers, describing one or more
technical challenges for the ILP community,
are also welcomed.
Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest for submissions include:
- theoretical aspects (logical foundations, computational and/or statistical learning theory, specialization and generalization operators, etc.) of learning in logic (logic programs, constraint logic programs, Datalog, first-order logic, description logics, higher-order logic, etc.), or from relational or graph databases
- algorithmic and implementation aspects of learning in logic including the design of algorithms along with theoretical and/or empirical analysis, probabilistic and statistical approaches, distance and kernel-based methods, relational reinforcement learning, learning from multi-relational databases, scalability issues, inductive databases, link discovery, multi-instance learning, etc.,
- applications including, but not restricted to multi-relational
learning from structured (e.g., labeled graphs, tree patterns) and
semi-structured data (e.g., XML documents), in areas of science
(bioinformatics, cheminformatics, medical informatics, etc.), natural
language processing (computational linguistics, relational text and web
mining etc.), engineering or the arts.
