BAGGER: An EBL System that Extends and Generalizes Explanations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many concepts require generalizing number. For example, concepts such as momentum and energy conservation apply to arbitrary numbers of physical objects, clearing the top of a desk can require an arbitrary number of object relocations, and setting a table involves an arbitrary number of guests. In addition. there is recent psychological evidence [Ahn87] that people can generalize number on the basis of one example.

Learning from Textbook Knowledge: A Case Study
Conclusions To summarize, we have identiied a problem that arises in learning from the knowledge in textbooks: the problem of learning from knowledge including omissions and inconsistencies that are clariied by illustrative examples. This learning problem is solvable by a technique that we call analogical abductive explanation based learning (ANA-EBL). ANA-EBL actually solves the more general p...
متن کاملA Note on "Creativity and Learning in a Case-Based Explainer"
Explanation-based learning (EBL ) is a very powerful method for category formation. Since EBL algorithms depend on having good explanations, it is crucial to have effective ways to build explanations, especially in complex real-world situations where complete causal information is not available. When people encounter new situations, they often explain them by remembering old explanations, and a...

متن کاملEvaluating Explanations
Explanation-based learning (EBL) is a powerful method for category formation. However, EBL systems are only effective if they start with good explanations. The problem of evaluating candidate explanations has received little attention: Current research usually assumes that a single explanation will be available for any situation, and that this explanation will be appropriate. In the real world ...
متن کاملRelations between IB & EBL in Planning and
The ideas of intelligent backtracking (IB) and explanation based learning (EBL) have developed independently in constraint satisfaction, planning, machine learning and problem solving communities. The variety of approaches developed for IB and EBL in the various communities have hitherto been incomparable. In this paper, I formalize and unify these ideas under the task-independent framework of ...
