alt Hacker News>> Since we're not doing original research, but rather intend to demonstrate a port of the Aleph ILP package to ISO Prolog running on Quantum Prolog, we cite the problem's definition in full from the original paper (ilp09):
Aleph? In 2025. That's just lazy, now. At the very least they should try Metagol or Popper, both with dozens of recent publications (and I'm not even promoting my own work).
You're not wrong, and alternatives were considered, but those were really not fit to be ported to ISO Prolog in bounded time with complete lack of tests or even a basic reproducible demo, uncontrolled usage of non-ISO libs and features only available on the originally targetted Prolog implementation, and other issues typical of "academic codes."
