| In the last AI Expert newsletter, which I'm editing for a few issues,
I've written a do-it-yourself on Inductive Logic Programming using
Ashwin Srinivasan's program Aleph under SWI Prolog. ILP induces
logical definitions of a concept from examples also specified in
logic, often using Prolog as the logic language. The learning
algorithm itself doesn't have to be coded in Prolog, but Aleph is
(runs under YAP and SWI), and it's a good way to experiment with ILP -
helped by downloadable examples and a comprehensive manual.
Just something which might interest some Prolog users. I once worked
with ILP a bit in pharmacology, but there are lots of other
applications too, and it's a powerful learning technique worth knowing
about.
