Inductive bias – CO4
 What is Inductive bias?
• Inductive bias in machine learning refers to the set of assumptions that a
learning algorithm uses to predict outputs for inputs it has not
encountered, enabling generalization beyond the training data.
• Inductive bias helps the algorithm focus on what's important in the data
and avoid getting lost in irrelevant details.
• It steers the learning process towards specific types of solutions.
• Exmples:-
X C(x)
1 1
2 0
3 1

 Inductive bias: definition
 Given:
-a concept learning algorithm L for a set of instances X
-a concept e defined over X
-a set of training examples for c: Dc = {(x, c(x))}
-L(xi, Dc) outcome of classification of xi, after learning.
 Inductive inference (>):
Dc ^ xi >L(xi, Dc)
 The inductive bias is defined as a minimal set of assumptions
B, such that (|- for deduction)
∀(xi X) [(B^Dc ^x
∈ i ) |- L(xi, Dc)]

 A Biased Hypothesis Space

• No hypothesis consistent with the three examples with the assumption
that the target is a conjunction of constraints
• <?, Warm, Normal, Strong, Cool, Change) is too general
• Target concept exists in a different space H', including disjunction and
in particular the hypothesis
• Sky=Sunny or Sky=Cloudy

Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
Inductive Reasoning
• Specific to General
• Logically true
• May or may not be realistically
true
Example:
• St1: Mango is fruit(Specific)
• St2: The box is full of
fruits(Specific)
• Con: The box is full of
mangoes(General)
Deductive Reasoning
• General to Specific
• Logically true
• Realistically true
Example:
• Stl: All mangoes are fruits.
(General)
• St2: All fruits have seeds.
(General)
• Con: Mangoes have seeds.
(Specific)
