Acquisition of Appropriate Bias for Inductive Concept Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 includes multiple sources of knowledge for recommending plausible language extensions.

Exploiting Inductive Bias Shift in Knowledge Acquisition from Ill-Structured Domains
Machine Learning (ML) methods are very powerful tools to automate the knowledge acquisition (KA) task. Particularly, in ill-structured domains where there is no clear idea about which concepts exist, inductive unsupervised learning systems appear to be a promising approach to help experts in the early stages of the acquisition process. In this paper we examine the concept of inductive bias, whi...
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...
متن کاملQuantifying 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 کاملThe Collapse of the Parameter Space of Inductive Biases
Choosing an appropriate inductive bias is critical to learning, especially when only a few examples have been observed. A simple bias may not be able to fit observations, and a complex bias may not predict future examples or it may be more computationally intensive than necessary. Humans and animals are able to learn many complex concepts with few examples because we “know” how to choose biases...
