Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

An ordered network of concepts or objects in which some are subordinate to others. Hierarchies occur in biological taxonomies and corporate organizational charts. Hierarchies ordinarily imply inheritance; and, thus, objects or concepts higher in the organization "contain" the objects or concepts that were beneath them. "Tangled hierarchies" occur when more than one higher-level entity inherits characteristics from a single lower-level entity.

CONT

Conceptual clustering. The system uses probabilities to direct its search through the space of conceptual hierarchies.
