Inductive Logic Programming: 9th International Workshop, ILP-99, Bled, Slovenia, June 24-27, 1999, Proceedings

by Saso Dzeroski (Editor), Peter A. Flach (Editor)

Overview

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming, ILP-99, held in Bled, Slovenia, in June 1999.
The 24 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. Also included are abstracts of three invited contributions. The papers address all current issues in inductive logic programming and inductive learning, from foundational and methodological issues to applications, e.g. in natural language processing, knowledge discovery, and data mining.
