Abstract

A number of experimental evaluations of explanation-based learning (EBL) have been reported in the literature on machine learning. A close examination of the design of these experiments revelas certain methodological problems that could affect the conclusions drawn from the experiments. This article analyzes some of the more common methodological difficulties, and illustrates them using selected previous studies.
