Enhancing a Search Algorithm to Perform Intelligent Backtracking
- This paper illustrates how a Prolog program, using chronological backtracking to find a solution in some search space, can be enhanced to perform intelligent backtracking. The enhancement crucially relies on the impurity of Prolog that allows a program to store information when a dead end is reached

On the Design of a Correct Freeness Analysis for Logic Programs
- Several proposals for computing freeness information for logic programs have been put forward in recent literature. The availability of such information has proven useful in a variety of applications, including parallelization of Prolog programs, optimizations in Prolog compilers, as well as for imp

Proving Failure of Queries for Definite Logic Programs Using XSB-Prolog
- Proving failure of queries for de nite logic programs can be done by constructing a finite model of the program in which the query is false. A general purpose model generator for first order logic can be used for this. A recent paper presented at PLILP98 shows how the peculiarities of definite progr

Logic program specialisation through partial deduction: Control issues
- Program specialisation aims at improving the overall performance of programs by performing source to source transformations. A common approach within functional and logic programming, known respectively as partial evaluation and partial deduction, is to exploit partial knowledge about the input. It

Binding-Time Analysis for Mercury
- . In this paper, we describe a binding-time analysis (BTA) for a statically typed and strongly moded pure logic programming language, in casu Mercury. Binding-time analysis is the key concept in achieving o-line program specialisation: the analysis starts from a description of the program's inpu

Binding-time Annotations without Binding-time Analysis (Extended Abstract)
- ) Wim Vanhoof and Maurice Bruynooghe Department of Computer Science, K.U.Leuven, Belgium. e-mail: fwimvh,mauriceg@cs.kuleuven.ac.be Abstract. In this work, we argue that the use of termination conditions as unfolding criteria is insucient to obtain adequate specialisation of logic programs. We

Towards a Modular Binding-time Analysis for Higher-order Mercury
- This extended abstract describes work in progress on binding-time analysis (BTA) for Mercury. It reports on a so called phased BTA that deals with the higher-order aspects of Mercury, and of which a large part can be performed on a modular basis.

Aggregation versus selection bias, and relational neural networks
- Current relational learners handle sets either by aggregating over them or by selecting specific elements, but do not combine both. This imposes a significant, possibly undesirable bias on these learners. We discuss this bias, as well as some ideas on how to lift it. In the process, we introduce the

Parameterless information extraction using (k,l)-contextual tree languages
- Recently, several wrapper induction algorithms for structured documents have been introduced. They are based on contextual tree languages and learn from positive examples only but have the disadvantage that they need parameters. To obtain the optimal parameter setting, they use precision and recall.

Inferring Polymorphic Types from Logic Programs
- Abstract. This extended abstract sketches work in progress on how to infer polymorphic types from logic programs. Type information can contribute to a better automation of termination analysis. However, as sketched in the introduction, the monomorphic types describing the success set of predicates,
