Machine Learning is Abduction Inference. (arXiv:2206.07586v1 [cs.AI])

Concept of Abduction with Gradated Contradictions is introduced here as a
form of Peirce's abduction inference. The general form of abduction criterion
is formalized in the proposed Logic of Gradated Contradictions and Logic of
Recursive Aggregation. Common steps of an abduction procedure as minimization
of such a criterion are specified as well. It is demonstrated on examples of 14
popular textbook learners (from hierarchical clustering to k-NN and SVR) that
each of them performs AGC. The proposed theory explains real …
