Inductive Learning

Machine learning(ML)is a major subfield of artificial intelligence(AI).It has been seen as a feasi- ble way of avoiding the knowledge bottleneck problem in knowledge-based systems development.Re- search on ML has concentrated in the main on inductive learning,a paradigm for inducing rules from unordered sets of exmaples.AQ11 and ID3,the two most widespread algorithms in ML,are both induc- tive.This paper first summarizes AQ11,ID3 and the newly-developed extension matrix approach based HCV algorithm;and then reviews the recent development of inductive learing and automatic knowledge acquisition from data bases.
