You're gonna scare people off, throwing around old-fashioned terms like
"ampliative induction". :-) But seriously, purely deductive approaches are
a minority strain in machine learning nowadays. All this neural network
and evolutionary algorithm stuff that's flying around falls under the heading
of ampliative induction. Of course you wouldn't normally call it logic.

For general machine learning in games, I have to recommend my own web
site, underhandedly named Machine Learning in Games:

If you're interested in inductive logic programming specifically, here
are a few things I looked up. This should be enough to get anyone
thoroughly bewildered. :-)
