Interactive Concept-Learning and Constructive Induction by Analogy

摘要

The available concept-learners only partially fulfill the needs imposed by the learning apprentice generation of learners. We present a novel approach to interactive concept-learning and constructive induction that better fits the requirements imposed by the learning apprentice paradigm. The approach is incorporated in the system Clint-Cia, which integrates several user-friendly features into one working whole: it is interactive, generates examples, shifts its bias, identifies concepts in the limit, copes with indirect relevance, recovers from errors, performs constructive induction and invents new concepts by analogy to previously learned ones.
