On Integrating Inductive Learning with Prior Knowledge and Reasoning
نویسنده
چکیده
Learning and reasoning are both aspects of what is considered to be intelligence. Their studies within AI have been separated historically, learning being the topic of neural networks and machine learning, and reasoning falling under classical (or symbolic) AI. However, learning and reasoning share many interdependencies, and the integration of the two may lead to more powerful models. This dissertation examines some of these interdependencies and describes several models, culminating with a system called FLARE (Framework for Learning And REasoning). The proposed models integrate inductive learning with prior knowledge and reasoning. Learning is incremental, prior knowledge is given by a teacher or deductively obtained by instantiating commonsense knowledge, and reasoning is non-monotonic. Simulation results on several datasets and classical commonsense protocols demonstrate promise.

This paper discusses the integration of traditional abductive and inductive reasoning methods in the development of machine learning systems. In particular, the paper discusses our recent work in two areas: 1) The use of traditional abductive methods to propose revisions during theory reene-ment, where an existing knowledge base is modiied to make it consistent with a set of empirical data; and...

متن کاملIntegrating Inductive Neural Network Learning and Explanation-Based Learning
Many researchers have noted the importance of combining inductive and analytical learning, yet we still lack combined learning methods that are effective in practice. We present here a learning method that combines explanation-based learning from a previously learned approximate domain theory, together with inductive learning from observations. This method, called explanation-based neural netwo...
متن کاملILA: Combining Inductive Learning with Prior Knowledge and Reasoning
Much effort has been devoted to understanding learning and reasoning in artificial intelligence. However, very few models attempt to integrate these two complementary processes. Rather, there is a vast body of research in machine learning, often focusing on inductive learning from examples, quite isolated from the work on reasoning in artificial intelligence. Though these two processes may be d...
