Oh, I didn't remember that Bratko had a chapter on ILP. I've met him in a couple of ILP conferences so I knew he's published work in ILP though [1]. The techniques described in the book are quite a bit older and, to be honest, they were rather limited, in particular with respect to learning recursion. There's a New Wave of ILP nowadays however and a flourishing of new approaches that followed from MIL, which kinda threw open the gates.

There's a recent synopsis of the latest advances in ILP here:

>> With all the hot news in Prolog these days I'd think you should submit this!

You mean to HN? I guess I could. I tend to think HN will not find it particularly interesting. Go ahead and submit it yourself though if you feel like it :)

YAY!! Thank you! I feel like there is "so much Prolog" that is not really widely known about, it's not like it's burning up the blogosphere unfortunately. I had no idea the ILP methods in the Bratko book were already so dated. Are these Prolog specific conferences you go to or general ML ones...? Where do all the cool kids hang out??
