Learning Language in Logic

This book provides a self-contained introduction to Learning Language in Logic (LLL) and, at the same time, competently surveys the current state of the art of research in the area. The book has its origin in the first LLL workshop which took place in Bled, Slovenia in June 1999. Beyond revised workshop papers, a number of additional chapters were solicited from leading researchers in order to achieve complete coverage of all current aspects and to introduce the new area to a broader audience.As the first book devoted to LLL, this thoroughly cross-reviewed state-of-the-art survey will become a valuable source of reference for researchers active in the area. Newcomers or professionals interested in advanced LLL applications will find this book an ideal guide to an exciting new field.
