This course introduces students to logic programming (LP). The course starts with an informal introduction to logic, its relation to LP, and how LP is used for natural language processing, knowledge discovery, inductive machine learning, verification of deep learning models, and the development of ontologies. Using Prolog as a declarative programming language, students will perform guided exercises covering the basics of unification, back tracking, forward chaining, input- and output and database management. The second part of the course consists of various exercises using SemMedDb's 117 million predications derived from medical abstracts, making students familiar with the challenges involved in logically inconsistent big databases and how logic programming can be used to find and work with inconsistencies. In the third part, students will as a final course project use Prolog to build a small application solving one or other life science problem of their choice.
