Constructive Induction by Analogy

The available concept-learners only partially fulfill the needs imposed by the learning apprentice generation of learners. We present a novel approach to interactive concept-learning and constructive induction that better fits the requirements imposed by the learning apprentice paradigm. The approach is incorporated in the system Clint-Cia, which integrates several user-friendly features into one working whole: it is interactive, generatesexamples, shifts its bias, identifies concepts in the limit, copes with indirect relevance, recovers from errors, performs constructive induction and invents new concepts by analogy to previously learned ones. Keywords. Inductive logic programming, concept-learning, constructive induction, experimentation
