Progress in Incremental Machine Learning.
Ray J. Solomonoff · 2003
We will describe recent developments in a system for machine learning that we've been working on for some time (Sol 86, Sol 89). It is meant to be a "Scientist's Assistant" of great power and versatility in many areas of science and mathematics. It di#ers from other ambitious work in this area in that we are not so much interested in knowledge itself, as we are in how it is acquired - how machines may learn. To start o#, the system will learn to solve two very general kinds of problems. Most, but perhaps not all problems in science and engineering are of these two kinds.
