Abstract
The invention permits various types of background knowledge for a concept learning system to be represented in a single formal structure known as an antecedent description grammar. A user formulates background knowledge for a learning problem into such a grammar, which then becomes an input to a learning system, together with training data representing the concept to be learned. The learning system, constrained by the grammar, then uses the training data to generate a hypothesis for the concept to be learned. Such hypothesis is in the form of a set of logic clauses known as Horn clauses.
