Inductive Logic Programming is a young and rapidly growing field combining machine learning and logic programming. This self-contained tutorial is the first theoretical introduction to ILP; it provides the reader with a rigorous and sufficiently broad basis for future research in the area.In the first part, a thorough treatment of first-order logic, resolution-based theorem proving, and logic programming is given. The second part introduces the ...

based on talks presented at the first International Workshop
on Nonmonotonic and Inductive Logic held in Karlsruhe,
December 1990. The workshop was supported by the
