- Jamie Callan, P. Utgoff. 1991. Constructive Induction on Domain Information. Abstract: It is well-known that inductive learning algorithms are sensitive to the way in which examples of a concept are represented. Constructive induction reduces this sensitivity by enabling the inductive algorithm to create new terms with which to describe examples. However, new terms are usually created as functions of existing terms, so an extremely poor initial representation makes the search for new terms intractable.
