The Eighth International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming (ILP'98)

The Eighth International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming (ILP'98)
will be held July 22-24, 1998, on the campus of the University of Wisconsin,
in Madison, Wisconsin, U.S.A. ILP'98 will be co-located with the Fifteenth
International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML'98), the Fifteenth
National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, the Tenth Annual Innovative
Applications of Artificial Intelligence (IAAI'98), the Eleventh Annual
Conference on Computational Learning Theory (COLT'98), the Third Annual
Genetic Programming Conference (GP'98), the Fourteenth Annual Conference on
Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence Conference (UAI'98), and the
Twentieth Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci'98). A
comprehensive list of co-located activities in Madison, together with their
dates, is being maintained.

Content

Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) is the study of automated inductive
learning where the knowledge representation used is first-order definite
clause logic. The richness of the representation makes ILP particularly
well-suited to domains such as organic chemistry and molecular biology,
natural language processing, and telecommunications, where examples are
easily described as sets of objects (e.g., atoms in a molecule) together
with relations that hold among those objects (e.g., bonds or distance
relations). Traditionally ILP researchers have shown equally great interest
in papers describing (1) theoretical advances, (2) implementations of new or
improved systems, and (3) novel applications. Original papers in all areas
of ILP are solicited for ILP'98.

Submission Requirements

Please send either one electronic copy (printable postscript) or four hard
copies of the manuscript (10 pages maximum), to be received by the program
chair on or before March 16, 1998. Electronic submission is preferred.
Electronic submissions may be delivered by anonymous ftp to the directory
pub/speed/ILP98submissions at ftp.louisville.edu, or may be emailed to
ilp98@louisville.edu. Submissions emailed to the program chair's personal
account also will be processed. For email submissions, please use the
subject line "ILP98 Submission". The program chair will acknowledge by email
the receipt of each submission. Please contact the program chair if
acknowledgement is not received within four days of submission.
