Abstract
Inductive logic programming (ILP) is concerned with the induction of logic programs from examples and background knowledge. In ILP, the shift of atten tion from program synthesis to knowledge discovery resulted in advanced tec hniques that are practically applicable for discovering knowledge in relati onal databases. This paper gives a brief introduction to ILP, presents sele cted ILP techniques for relational knowledge discovery and reviews selected ILP applications.
