Abstract: Several recent papers [ Cohen, 1990c; Flann and Dietterich, 1989 ] have presented learning systems that use, as background knowledge, an initial domain theory that is overgeneral: that is, a theory that defines a concept that is a superset of the concept to be learned. Learning then becomes a problem of specializing the initial theory. Such an overgeneral theory is, of course, only one of many possible ways in which background knowledge can be used in learning. This paper argues that many... (Update)

.... programming, the top down search for an inductive hypothesis has been performed by using various specialization techniques [14, 2, 8, 12, 10, 3, 7, 13, 16, 9]. In this work, we assume that the overly general hypothesis is given as a logic program. The problem of finding an...
