ILP and Automatic Programming: Towards Three Approaches Pierre Flener, Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey Lubo\v{s} Popel\'{\i}nsk\'{y}, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic Olga \v{S}t\v{e}p\'{a}nkov\'{a}, CTU Prague, Czech Republic The prospects of inductive logic programming (ILP) with respect to automatic programming (program synthesis) are discussed. We argue that logic program synthesis from incomplete information is but a niche of ILP, and study consequences of this statement. Then, three approaches are described: schema-driven synthesis of logic programs from incomplete specifications, the role of transformation techniques in ILP, and interactive assumption-based inductive learning.} </plaintext></body></html>
