<p>Logical Analysis of Data (LAD) is a powerful technique for data classification based on partially defined Boolean functions. The decision rules for class prediction in LAD are formed out of patterns. According to different preferences in the classification problem, various pattern types have been defined. The generation of these patterns plays a key role in the LAD methodology and represents a computationally hard problem. In this article, we introduce a new approach to pattern generation in LAD based on Answer Set Programming (ASP), which can be applied to all common LAD pattern types.</p>
