Abstract: One of the "grand challenges for machine learning" is the problem of learning from textbooks. This paper addresses the problem of learning from texts including omissions and inconsistencies that are clarified by illustrative examples. To avoid problems in natural language understanding, we consider a simplification of this problem in which the text has been manually translated into a logical theory. This learning problem is solvable by a technique that we call analogical abductive explanation... (Update)

...techniques are a surprisingly general way of making use of background knowledge. 1 INTRODUCTION Several recent papers [ Cohen, 1990b; Flann and Dietterich, 1989 ] have presented learning systems that use as background knowledge an initial domain theory that is...

.... for R is a recursive theory, as in [ Shavlik, 1990 ] rules are used to construct a new theory that better models the data, as in [Cohen, 1990b] then they will be inaccurate. How can one state formally that Strawman 1 generalizes too aggressively Let us borrow a page from...
