Abstract

This paper proposes a new method of inductive learning that incorporates an element of inexact reasoning. The first part of the paper is devoted to the critical analysis of existing methods of inexact reasoning (Certainty Factors, Bayesian Inference, and Dempster-Shafer belief functions). In the second part we propose and describe a new method for inexact reasoning and its application in the domain of knowledge acquisition.
