Ramsification and inductive inference
نویسنده
چکیده
An argument, different from the Newman objection, against the view that the cognitive content of a theory is exhausted by its Ramsey sentence is reviewed. The crux of the argument is that Ramsification may ruin inductive systematization between theory and observation. The argument also has some implications concerning the issue of underdetermination.

Probabilistic inductive inference: a survey
Inductive inference is a recursion-theoretic theory of learning, rst developed by E. M. Gold (1967). This paper surveys developments in probabilistic inductive inference. We mainly focus on nite inference of recursive functions, since this simple paradigm has produced the most interesting (and most complex) results.

Introduction: Raising powers of reasoning, inference and judgment, is the main destination. Critical thinking skills education should be the main priority in the education program planning. Teaching critical thinking can lead to increased learning, problem-solving skills, decision making and be creative. students who have critical and creative thinking have less wrong theoretical judgments and ...
متن کاملIs Holism A Problem For Inductive Inference? A Computational Analysis
We investigate whether holism presents a problem for inductive inference by examining the relationship between the size of a Bayesian network that represents human conceptual knowledge and the computational complexity of probabilistic inference in that network. We find that, despite prior claims, holism may not be a problem for inductive inference, as computational cost does not increase expone...
متن کاملInductive Inference by Using Information Compression
Inductive inference is of central importance to all scientific inquiries. Automating the process of inductive inference is the major concern of machine learning researchers. This article proposes inductive inference techniques to address three inductive problems: (1) how to automatically construct a general description, a model, or a theory to describe a sequence of observations or experimental...
