Inductive reasoning
Our aim is to explain a general theory of inductive reasoning which is close enough to the concerns of language studies. In this setup , the optimal prediction rate is assigned to the hypothesis considered most likely by a prior-free form of Bayesian inference. In terms of practical applications a most attractive form of this approach is embodied by the so-called minimum description length (MDL...
متن کاملInductive reasoning.
Inductive reasoning entails using existing knowledge or observations to make predictions about novel cases. We review recent findings in research on category-based induction as well as theoretical models of these results, including similarity-based models, connectionist networks, an account based on relevance theory, Bayesian models, and other mathematical models. A number of touchstone empiric...
متن کاملRelations between inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning.
One of the most important open questions in reasoning research is how inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning are related. In an effort to address this question, we applied methods and concepts from memory research. We used 2 experiments to examine the effects of logical validity and premise-conclusion similarity on evaluation of arguments. Experiment 1 showed 2 dissociations: For a common ...
متن کاملInductive Reasoning about Unawareness Inductive Reasoning about Unawareness
We develop a model of games with awareness that allows for di erential levels of awareness. We show that, for the standard modal logical interpretations of belief and awareness, a player cannot believe there exist propositions of which he is unaware. Nevertheless, we argue that a boundedly rational individual may regard the possibility that there exist propositions of which she is unaware as be...
متن کاملInductive Reasoning and Komogorov Complexity
This is a sloppy first draft of [J. Comp. System Sciences, 44:2(1992), 343-384]. Also, there are some problems with the pictures and references due to the obsolete troff processing. Reasoning to obtain the ‘truth’ about reality, from external data, is an important, controversial, and complicated issue in man’s effort to understand nature. (Yet, today, we try to make machines do this.) There hav...
