| In this paper we review previous work on the applicability and performance of Integrated Layer Processing (ILP). ILP has been shown to clearly improve performance when integrating simple functions, but the situation has been less clear for more complex functions and complete systems. We discuss complications when applying ILP to protocol stacks, the requirements of ILP on the communication su...

We present a novel approach to non-monotonic ILP and its implementation called tal (Top-directed Abductive Learning). tal overcomes some of the completeness problems of ILP systems based on Inverse Entailment and is the first top-down ILP system that allows background theories and hypotheses to be normal logic programs. The approach relies on mapping an ILP problem into an equivalent ALP one. T...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling leading to right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy and failure. Intralipid (ILP), a source of parenteral nutrition for patients, contains γ-linolenic acid and soy-derived phytoestrogens that are protective for lungs and heart. We, therefore, investigated the therapeutic potential of ILP in preventing and rescuing...

This article presents an overview of existing ILP and non ILP approaches to word morphology learning and sets targets for future research The article claims that new challenges to the ILP community with more appeal to computational linguists should be sought in a whole new range of unexplored learning tasks in which ILP would have to make a more extensive use of relevant linguistic knowledge an...

Many Integer Linear Programming (ILP) problems contain significant subproblems exclusively composed of 0-1 (binary) variables. Much effort has gone in to special solvers for 0-1 ILP, as well as specialized versions of 0-1 ILP. The boolean satisfiability problem (SAT), is fundamental to many fields, including Artificial Intelligence, Formal Verification, and Computer Aided Design, and can be vie...

ABSTRACT Background: Osteoid osteoma is a benign bony neoplasm and its classic treatment is surgery. In the r ecent decades percutaneous laser therapy was suggested to be replaced by surgery. In this study we have reviewed the results of the first applications of interstitial laser photocoagulation (ILP) for treatment of osteoid osteoma in Iranian patients. Materials and Methods: In this case s...

The generic task of Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) is to search a predeened subspace of rst-order logic for hypotheses that in some respect explain examples and background knowledge. In this paper we consider the development of parallel implementations of ILP systems. A rst part discusses the division of the ILP-task into subtasks that can be handled concurrently by multiple processes execut...

Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) combines both Machine Learning and Logic Programming techniques. ILP uses rst-order predicate logic restricted to Horn clauses as an underlying language. Thus, programs induced by an ILP system inherit the classical limitations of PROLOG programs. Constraint Logic Programming avoids some of the limitations of Logic Programming and so ILP aims to induce programs...

Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) is a Machine Learning technique that has been quite successful in knowledge discovery for relational domains. ILP systems implemented in Prolog challenge the limits of Prolog systems due to heavy usage of resources such as database accesses and memory usage, and to very long execution times. The major reason to implement ILP systems in Prolog is that the infere...

Intron length polymorphisms (ILPs) have been used as genetic markers in some studies. However, a systematic investigation and large-scale exploitation of ILP markers has not been reported. In this study, we performed a genome-wide search of ILPs between two subspecies (indica and japonica) in rice using the draft genomic sequences of cultivars 93-11 (indica) and Nipponbare (japonica) and 32,127...
