Abstract: Over the last few years, the ecient learnability of logic programs has been studied extensively. Positive and negative learnability results now exist for a number of restricted classes of logic programs that are closely related to the classes used in practice within inductive logic programming. This paper surveys these results, and also introduces some of the more useful techniques for deriving such results. The paper does not assume any prior background in computational learning theory.

.... learning theory have also shown the need to restrict the hypothesis space in order to arrive at learnability results [Cohen and Page, 1995]. This motivates the investigation in this paper of two methods stochastic clause selection and iterative beam search that...
