In the present paper we propose a consistent way to integrate syntactical least general generalizations lgg s with semantic evaluation of the hypotheses For this purpose we use two di erent relations on the hypothesis space a constructive one used to generate lgg s and a semantic one giving the coverage based evaluation of the lgg These two relations jointly implement a semantic distance measur...

I study the robustness of Rubinstein’s (1989) E-Mail Game results towards rough inductive reasoning. Rough induction is a form of boundedly rational reasoning where a player does not carry out every

We study the inductive Alperin–McKay conjecture, the inductive Isaacs– Navarro refinement and the inductive blockwise Alperin weight conjecture for groups of Lie type in the generic case of abelian Sylow `-subgroups. We also show that the alternating groups, the Suzuki groups and the Ree groups satisfy the inductive condition necessary for Späth’s reduction of the blockwise Alperin weight conje...

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 ...

In this paper we introduce Guided Exploration as an inductive teaching approach. It is based on Minimalism and makes use of the pattern format. Guided Exploration addresses a couple of problems when teaching tool-related concepts and techniques, like how to address different student learning styles and how to address the issue that most students do not read the provided material as expected bef...

The present paper is a short reflection concerning the role which inductive inference played and can play in language learning. We shortly recall some major insights obtained and outline some new directions based on own work and results recently presented in the literature.

Abstract— The inductive characteristics of several types of gridded power distribution networks are described in this paper. The inductance extraction program FastHenry is used to evaluate the inductive properties of grid structured interconnect. In power distribution grids with alternating power and ground lines, the inductance is shown to vary linearly with grid length and inversely linearly ...
