ILP'01 continues a series  of international  workshops on Inductive
Logic Programming, and looks for papers concerned with inductive logic
programming and learning from multi-relational data.
 
ILP'01 will take place close to  PKDD'01 and ECML'01, and this appears
an unprecedented opportunity to confront the theoretical and practical
achievements in ILP with the challenges offered by learning and mining
from  structured or  semi-structured data, ranging  from  XML to  data
warehouses.
We therefore  encourage submissions of papers related with  (non
exhaustive list) :
 
- learning  in  and  from  extended  languages  (Datalog,  description
  logics, multiple instance  problems, data warehouse, semi-structured
  databases, higher order logics, constraint logic programming...)
 
- logical  settings   and  operators  for   these  extended  languages
  (generalization, abstraction,  conceptual clustering, reformulation,
  constructive induction, propositionalization, OLAP)
 
- statistical and complexity issues (worst-case complexity, distribut-
  ional complexity, aggregation of classifiers, phase transition pheno-
  mena, randomization)
 
- search on  multi relational  domains : search  criteria, incremental
  algorithms, local search,  stochastic and probabilistic exploration,
  Bayesian inference, evolutionary algorithms.
 
Especially  welcome  are papers  related  to real-world  applications,
e.g. natural language  processing, bioinformatics, spatial or temporal
knowledge discovery  in databases, information  retrieval, Web mining,
alarm control,...(non exhaustive list again).
