The Babelism about Induction and Abduction
نویسنده
چکیده
The concepts of inductive and abductive reasoning lead to many open discussions. Some of them arise from confusions in the use of the termsìnduction' andàbduction' that are due to the existence of numerous connicting dee-nitions. While both induction and abduction aim to derive hypotheses, such hypotheses are diierent in the general case. In this position paper, we show how it is diicult to reach a consensus on the relations between induction and abduction. Our contribution consists in improving the characterization of induction and abduction in a particular class.

Abduction , Induction and Completion Policies ( Research Note )
In this paper, we are mainly concerned with abduction and confirmatory induction. While both reasoning models can be related to deduction w.r.t. a completed knowledge base, we claim that they do not basically rely on the same completion policies. Intuitively, induction requires individuals of the domain of interest to be circumscribed: every unknown individual is supposed to behave like the kno...

متن کاملAbduction and induction from a non-monotonic reasoning perspective
In this chapter, induction and abduction are investigated in a non-monotonic reasoning framework. We recall that several meanings can be given to logic-based abduction and induction. In particular, we distinguish explanatory and descriptive induction. Explanatory induction is closely related to abduction. Descriptive induction is related to abduction in a less straightforward way. While both ca...

متن کاملModelling Inhibition in Metabolic Pathways Through Abduction and Induction
In this paper, we study how a logical form of scientific modelling that integrates together abduction and induction can be used to understand the functional class of unknown enzymes or inhibitors. We show how we can model, within Abductive Logic Programming (ALP), inhibition in metabolic pathways and use abduction to generate facts about inhibition of enzymes by a particular toxin (e.g. Hydrazi...
