Extending EBG to Term-Rewriting Systems

Abstract

We show that the familiar explanation-based generalization (EBG) procedure is applicable to a large family of programming languages, including three families of importance to AI: logic programming (such as Prolog); lambda calculus (such as LISP); and combinator languages (such as FP). The main application of this result is to extend the algorithm to domains for which predicate calculus is a poor representation. In addition, many issues in analytical learning become clearer and easier to reason about.
