The Relation between Abductive Hypotheses and Inductive Hypotheses
In the AI eld, abduction is used for design, diagnosis and other tasks. This is because abduction is a sort of predictive inference. On the other hand, induction is used for classiication. For example, ILP nds greater tendencies in examples and learns general rules from the examples and background knowledge. Recently, the integration of abduction and induction has become a hot issue. In this pa...
متن کاملFocusing Construction and Selection of Abductive Hypotheses
Many abductive understanding systems explain novel situations by a chaining process that is neutral to explainer needs beyond generating some plausible explanation for the event being explained. This paper examines the relationship of standard models of abductive understanding to the case-based explanation model. In case-based explanation, construction and selection of abductive hypotheses are ...
متن کاملLogic-Based Abductive Inference
This paper surveys the work on abductive inference within the eld of artii-cial intelligence (AI), with particular attention to logic-based abduction. The paper commences with a formal description of three popular characterizations of abductive inference. This is followed by an examination of several speciic logic-based abductive frameworks, each of which applies syntactic restrictions to the f...
متن کاملThe Activation of Hypotheses during Abductive Reasoning
Abductive reasoning, that is, finding an explanation for a set of observations, can be understood as a process of sequentially understanding and integrating new observations into a mental model about the current situation (Johnson & Krems, 2001; Josephson & Josephson, 1994). Whereas Johnson and Krems’ model focuses on conscious deliberate processes, it has been argued that automatic implicit pr...
متن کاملAbductive Expansion: Abductive Inference and the Process of Belief Change
Unlike the AGM framework of belief revision, where new information is added to the current belief state as it is (while attempting to preserve logical consistency), we model the following more natural proposal: agents seek a justiication (explanation) for the new information before \accepting" it and incorporate this justiication into their current belief state together with the new information...
