Abstract

The goals of this presentation are as follows: - Review some key ideas and developments in inductive logic programming. - Show how these ideas can be used in other learning settings, and in particular for the computational scientific discovery of quantitative laws. - Encourage more research on learning in rich representations, such as relational representations and differential equations, which can be used for modeling a variety of real world problems.

This paper also appears in the Proceedings of the Nineteenth Conference on Machine Learning (ICML- 2002), published by Morgan Kaufmann.
