Learning from observation : Conceptual Clustering.... If the sparseness is zero, then the description covers only observed events(has zero degree of generalization). As the relative sparseness of the complex increases, so does the degree to which it generalizes over the observed events. the maximum relative sparseness value of 1 is achieved when the complex covers only unobserved events.... An advantage of sparseness as a measure of fit is its simplicity.  1, record 1, English, - sparseness

Le regroupement conceptuel. (...) Qualité de la classification. (...) Le facteur s(gi) mesure la "dispersion conceptuelle" de la description de classe gi; lorsque ce facteur tend vers 1, la description couvre essentiellement des instances non regroupées dans la classe correspondante tandis que lorsqu'il tend vers zéro, la description ne couvre plus que des instances regroupées dans cette classe.  1, record 1, French, - dispersion%20conceptuelle

Typically, the inductive assertions are chosen on the basis of some simplicity criterion .... An overall simplicity for human comprehension (can be) measured, for example, by the number of descriptors and number of operators used in an inductive assertion.  1, record 2, English, - degree%20of%20simplicity
