Algorithmic Learning for Knowledge-Based Systems

This book is the final report on a comprehensive basic research project, named GOSLER on algorithmic learning for knowledge-based systems supported by the German Federal Ministry of Research and Technology during the years 1991 - 1994. This research effort was focused on the study of fundamental learnability problems integrating theoretical research with the development of tools and experimental investigation.

The contributions by 11 participants in the GOSLER project is complemented by contributions from 23 researchers from abroad. Thus the volume provides a competent introduction to algorithmic learning theory.
