ILP 2016: Inductive Logic Programming: First International ILP Competition, Deadline: 1 Aug 2016
________________________________________________________
ILP 2016: The 26th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming
First International ILP Competition - Call for Registration
http://ilp16.doc.ic.ac.uk/competition
_____________________________________________________________
This is a reminder that the First International ILP Competition opened on
February 1st 2016 and will accept new submissions until the 1st of August.
There is still plenty of time to register, to make a start and to submit
the final entry. Please note that, after registration, it is a good idea
to upload the system well in advance of the deadline, in order to check
that it runs on the testing framework that will be used to evaluate the
submissions.
Several new example problems have also been added to the Website
(http://ilp16.doc.ic.ac.uk/competition) for people who register to test
their system on.
For any query, please email Mark Law (ILP 2016 Competition chair) at
mark.law09@imperial.ac.uk.

OVERVIEW:
The 26th International Conference on Inductive Logic Programming (ILP
2016), which will be held in London, UK, September 4th - 6th, 2016, will
run the first International ILP Competition. This is designed to test the
accuracy, scalability and versatility of the learning systems which are
entered. We are pleased to announce that registration to the competition
is now open.
There are two main tracks for the competition: probabilistic and
non-probabilistic. Initially, there will be 8 problems in each track for
entrants to try. These 8 problems each have three different settings
(easy, medium and hard), with different sizes of language bias. As the
competition progresses, we will be adding more problems, so it is worth
checking regularly for updates!
HOW TO ENTER THE COMPETITION AND HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
Participants are required to register on the competition website
(http://ilp16.doc.ic.ac.uk/competition).
Once they have registered, they will be able to access to a number of
specimen problems that they can try out between 1st February 2016 and 1st
August 2016. Participants may upload new versions of their system as often
as they like. Whenever a new version is uploaded, this will be run on the
set of specimen datasets, which will reflect the range of datasets used in
the final competition. They will be given a full output from the server on
how they would have scored in the competition on these specimen datasets.
Details on how to access these specimen problems and how to upload the new
versions of their system are available on the website
(http://ilp16.doc.ic.ac.uk/competition).
FINAL SUBMISSION:
The final submission will be on 1st of August 2016. The last version of
the system uploaded on the website by the 1st of August will be considered
as the final entry to the competition. Entries will be tested on a larger
number of (entirely new) data sets. Although the data sets will be new,
the problem domain will remain the same. The results will be announced at
ILP 2016. Immediately after the conference, all datasets will be published
on the competition website.
As part of the final entry, the participants will also have to submit a
short document (maximum 3 pages) explaining how their implementation
works. This document will appear on the competition website after the
competition (their implementation will remain private).
PRIZES:
The competition will have two prizes:
1) Entry with best accuracy for the non-probabilistic track
2) Entry with best accuracy for probabilistic-track
IMPORTANT DATES:
* Registration opens: 1 February 2016
* Final submission: 1 August 2016
COMMITTEE:
The evaluation committee will be formed by the programs chairs and the competition chair.
Mark Law, Imperial College London (Competition chair)
