The Inductive Bias in Concept Learning (extended Abstract)
We show that the notion of bias in inductive concept learning can be quantified in a way that directly relates to learning performance, and that this quantitative theory of bias can provide guidance in the design of effective learning algorithms. We apply this idea by measuring some common language biases, including restriction to conjunctive concepts and conjunctive concepts with internal disj...

متن کاملAcquisition of Appropriate Bias for Inductive Concept Learning
Current approaches to inductive concept learning suffer from a fundamental difficulty; if a fixed language is chosen in which to represent concepts, then in cases where that language is inappropriate, the new concept may be impossible to describe (and therefore to learn). We suggest a framework for automatically extending the language in which concepts are to be expressed. This framework includ...
متن کاملStrongly Typed Inductive Concept Learning
In this paper we argue that the use of a language with a type system, together with higher-order facilities and functions, provides a suitable basis for knowledge representation in inductive concept learning and, in particular, illuminates the relationship between attribute-value learning and inductive logic programming (ILP). Individuals are represented by closed terms: tuples of constants in ...
متن کاملAdjusting Bias in Concept Learning
We approach concept learning as a heuristic search through a space of concepts for a concept that satisfies the learning task at hand The heuristics represent bias that the concept learning program employs when forming an inductive generalization. We present a model of bias adjustment and report our experience with an implementation of the model. A major objective in research on inductive conce...
