متن کاملThe Generality of Overgenerality
Several recent papers Cohen, 1990c; Flann and Dietterich, 1989] have presented learning systems that use, as background knowledge, an initial domain theory that is overgeneral: that is, a theory that deenes a concept that is a superset of the concept to be learned. Learning then becomes a problem of specializing the initial theory. Such an overgeneral theory is, of course, only one of many poss...
متن کاملThe logic of generality
One hypothesis is more general than another one if it covers all instances that are also covered by the later one. The former hypothesis is called a generalization of the later, and the later a specialization of the former. When using logical formulae as hypotheses, the generality relation coincides with the notion of logical entailment, which implies that the generality relation can be analyze...
متن کاملStatistical microeconomics
A statistical generalization is made of microeconomics in the spirit of going from classical to statistical mechanics. The price and quantity of every commodity1 traded in the market, at each instant of time, is considered to be an independent random variable: all prices and quantities are considered to be stochastic processes, with the observed market prices being a random sample of the stocha...
متن کاملMicroeconomics of Technology Adoption.
There is an emerging consensus among macro-economists that differences in technology across countries account for the major differences in per-capita GDP and the wages of workers with similar skills across countries. Accounting for differences in technology levels across countries thus can go a long way towards understanding global inequality. One mechanism by which poorer countries can catch u...
