A review of machine learning

Abstract

This paper reviews Machine Learning (ML), and extends and complements previous work (Kocabas, 1991; Kalkanis and Conroy, 1991). Although this paper focuses on inductive learning, it at least touches on a great many aspects of ML in general. In addition, incremental induction is also reviewed. Therefore, a general review of ML is presented, but specific detail which has been covered previously is omitted, although other relevant references are noted, and later material is commented upon.
