Inductive logic programming : 11th international conference, ILP 2001, Strasbourg, France, September 9-11, 2001 : proceedings / Céline Rouveirol, Michèle Sebag (eds.).

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming, ILP 2001, held in Strasbourg, France in September 2001. The 21 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. Among the topics addressed are data mining issues for multi-relational databases, supervised learning, inductive inference, Bayesian reasoning, learning refinement operators, neural network learning, constraint satisfaction, genetic algorithms, statistical machine learning, transductive inference, etc.
