Abstract
The knowledge acquisition process of many Machine Learning approaches is idealized with respect to the exclusion of noisy data, the applicability of backtracking methods, or the arrangement of training examples by a teacher. This paper describes the consequence that arises if the idealization must be abandoned: the system may be led to a dead end. Some tentative ideas are presented as to how a system should react when an increasing number of counter examples arise by the developing a new “paradigm” that must be introduced contrainductively (that is, against well supported hypotheses and factual knowledge).
“Kontrainduktiv” ist nach Feyerabend (83) ein Vorgehen, bei dem Hypothesen eingefuehrt und ausgebaut werden, die gut bestaetigten Theorien und/oder Fakten widersprechen.
Dieser Aufsatz entstand im Rahmen des vom BMFT gefoerderten Projektes “Kognitive Verfahren zur Informations-Extraktion und Zusammenfassung aus Texten (KIT)” (PT 135.01). Fuer wertvolle Anregungen und die Unterstuetzung danke ich Christopher Habel und Claus-Rainer Rollinger.
