[comp.ai] Pointers needed on induction over multiple explanations

bruce@vanhalen.rutgers.edu (Shane Bruce) (06/14/88)

In an interesting article in the Proceedings of the 1988 AAAI Spring
Symposium on EBL, Flann and Dietterich discuss the idea of performing
induction over the functional explanations of a concept (in their case,
minmax game trees), as opposed to performing the induction on the feature
language description of the concept.  In the article they list some
other projects in which induction over explanations is performed.  

Can anyone provide me with pointers to work in which induction is done
over multiple concept explanations?  I would particularly be
interested in hearing about projects in which induction is performed
over causal process explanations generated by qualitative or
quantitative domain models.

Please email to me (bruce@paul.rutgers.edu) any references which you
might have concerning this topic.  I will, of course, post the results
of this query to the net if there is enough interest.  Thanks for the
help.
