Abstract: Inductive logic programming (ILP) is a research area which has its roots in inductive machine learning and computational logic. The paper gives a survey of European research in this area. It first briefly introduces the research field, then gives an overview of recent research results and directions and finally describes in more detail the research of some of the European institutions involved in ILP research within two European ILP projects: the ESPRIT III Basic Research Project No. 6020 Inductive Logic Programming and the PECO'92 European Inductive Logic Programming Scientific Network.
