Techniques for learning logic programs from data typically rely on language bias mechanisms to restrict the hypothesis space. These methods are therefore limited by user's ability tune them such that space is simultaneously large enough include target program but small admit a tractable search. We propose technique learn Datalog input-output examples without requiring user specify any bias. It ...

Actions description languages (ADLs), such as STRIPS, PDDL, and RDDL specify the input format for planning algorithms. Unfortunately, their syntax is familiar to experts only, not potential users of technology. Moreover, this limits ability describe complex large domains. We argue that programming (PLs), more specifically, probabilistic (PPLs), provide a suitable alternative. PLs are all progra...
