Analysis of an Extended Concept-Learning Task
Abstract
a “focussing strategy ” for learning simple conjunctive concepts in a situation where the learner is shown a sequence of instances one at a time, each being an example or non-example of the concept to be learned. We consider the extension of this strategy to concepts in which the individual features are hierarchically structured, as is the case, for example, for the materials used by Winston (1975). The essence of the extended strategy is to represent an hypothesis by a pair of nodes in the hierarchy, instead of just a single node. The “lower”, more specialised node indicates the set of instances that have already been inferred to be examples of the concept. The “upper”, more abstract node indicates an inferred
