Mitchell's version-space approach to inductive concept learning has been highly influential in machine learning, as it formalizes inductive concept learning as a search problem—to identify some concept definition out of a space of possible definitions. This paper lays out some theoretical underpinnings of version spaces. It presents the conditions under which an arbitrary set of concept definit...

Some questioned the very existence of innate representational primitives, and others questioned my claims about their richness and whether they should be thought of as concepts. Some questioned the existence of conceptual discontinuity in the course of knowledge acquisition and others argued ...
