The Fourth International Workshop on Inductive Logic Programming
(ILP94)
September 12 -- 14, 1994
Bad Honnef/Bonn, Germany
Announcement and First Call for Papers
General Information
Originating from the intersection of Machine Learning and Logic
Programming, Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) is an important and
rapidly developing field that focuses on theory, methods, and
applications of learning in relational, first-order logic formalisms.
ILP94 is the fourth in a series of international workshops designed
to bring together developers and users of ILP in a format that
allows a detailed exchange of ideas and discussions. Reflecting the
growing maturity of the field, ILP94 for the first time will offer a
systems and application exhibit as an opportunity to demonstrate the
practical results and capabilities of ILP.
Submission of papers
Reflecting the broadening scope of the field, ILP94 invites papers
covering on the three main aspects of ILP, namely inductive data
analysis and learning in first-order formalisms, inductive synthesis
of non-trivial logic programs from examples, and inductive tools
for software engineering. Possible topics include, but are not
restricted to:
o complexity of learning in o relationships between ILP
logical formalisms and neighboring areas
o higher-order learning o predicate invention
o learning of integrity constraints o theory revision and restructuring
o multiple predicate learning o learning in relational formalisms
o handling of noise o declarative bias
o architectures for ILP o comparative analyses of ILP methods
o application discussions
Ideally, papers should fit into one of the following categories:
Theory. Theory papers prove results about a new or known ILP problem
or method, discuss the relationship with neighboring fields, or
present a unified analysis of several methods.
Methods. Method papers present details of new algorithms, ideally
including theoretical and complexity analysis, and empirical
results on important applications. Ideally, a method paper
would be accompanied by a system demo.
Applications. Application papers describe one or more real-life ILP
applications in detail, justifying the use of ILP techniques,
and giving a reproducible presentation of experiments and
results. Ideally, an application paper would be accompanied by
an application demo.
Please submit four paper copies of your paper to the workshop chair

to be received on or before May 31, 1994. There is no fixed page
limit on submissions, but length should be reasonable and adequate
for the topic. Please use LaTeX if at all possible. Authors will
be notified of acceptance or rejection until July 15, 1994, and
camery-ready copy will be due on August 9, 1994.

Proceedings
To keep submission dates close to the workshop, accepted papers will
be published as a GMD technical report to be distributed at the
workshop and officially available to others from GMD afterwards.
Publication of an edited book is planned for after the workshop.
Systems and Applications Exhibition
ILP94 offers participants an opportunity to demonstrate their systems
and/or applications. Please announce your intention to demo to the
conference office until August 1, 1994, specifying precisely what
type of hardware and software you need.
Location
ILP94 will take place in Bad Honnef, a small resort town close to
Bonn in the Rhine valley and adjacent to the Siebengebirge nature
park. Participants will be able to take advantage of Bad Honnef's
vicinity to medieval castles and of the new wine season that starts
at the time of the workshop.
