WALKER@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA (07/24/84)
From: Michael Walker <WALKER@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA> Roy, The Plant/Induce work was done by Ryzard Michalski at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois. The paper I have is: Michalski, R.S., and Chilausky, R.L. Learning by being told and learning from examples: an experimental comparison of the two methods of knowledge acquisition in the context of developing an expert system for soybean disease diagnosis. International Journal of Policy Anaysis and Information Systems, Vol 4, No. 2, 1980. I believe he also published a version in 1981 in the International Journal of Man-Machine Studies. If you are interested in systems that learn rules automatically, you might also want to look at Peter Politakis' SEEK system described in Artificial Intelligence, January 1984.
