GENERALIZATION TREE [3 records]

Record 1 1992-11-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

A tree that consists of nodes and edges which represent the goals reduced during the computation.

CONT

The result of this stage is an And/Or proof tree, which we shall call the explanation tree for the training instance. The explanation tree indicates how the training instance satisfies PosInst(positive instance), and forms the basis for generalization by inferring sufficient conditions for satisfying PosInst.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

La justification à construire est une démonstration prouvant que l'exemple positif donné satisfait bien la définition non opérationnelle du concept-but. Cette démonstration peut être structurée en un arbre de preuve.

Record 2 1992-10-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

An inference rule that, given one or more assertions, produces an assertion that logically implies the original assertions. An inductive inference rule is a falsity-preserving transformation of assertions. (cf. deductive inference rule).

CONT

An inductive inference rule performs some elementary act of inductive inference. It takes one or more assertions and generates an assertion that tautologically implies them.

OBS

Here are a few examples of such rules : Dropping conditions... Turning constants into variables... Adding options... Climbing generalization tree...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
CONT

L'induction est un processus de dérivation de sentences plus générales à partir de sentences établies pour certains cas spécifiques par application d'un ensemble de règles d'inférence inductive.

OBS

Parmi les règles d'inférence les plus utilisées pour généraliser des implicants, citons les suivantes (...) restriction de conjonction (...) extension de disjonction (...) remplacement de constantes par des variables (...) montée d'un arbre de spécialisation.

Record 3 1992-10-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Inductive Inference Can be Performed by Rules. Here are a few examples of such rules : Climbing generalization tree(replacing a less general term boy a more general term in a statement; e. g., generalizing the statement "I like oranges" into "I like citrus fruits").

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
OBS

Règles d'inférence inductive. (...) Une autre variante peut s'avérer fort utile lorsque le domaine de valeurs d'une variable a une structure d'arbre de spécialisation. Les valeurs "descendantes" peuvent alors être remplacées par des valeurs "ancêtres".
