Attribute-Value Learning Record

An Attribute-Value Learning Record is a tuple record that is a learning record.

• AKA: Feature Tuple.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) represent a Feature Space.
  • It can be a member of a Flat Learning Record Set.
  • It can range from being a Binary Feature Vector to being a Nominal Feature Vector to being an Integer Feature Vector to being a Real-Value Feature Vector.
  • It can range from (typically) being a Fixed-Length Feature Tuple to being a Dynamic-Length Feature Tuple.
  • …
• Example(s):
  • a Categorical Learning Record, such as: <'Red','John Smith','False'>
  • a Vectorized Learning Record, such as: <2,29,0.1>.
  • a Hybrid Learning Record, such as: <'Red',2,'John Smith',29,0.1,'False'>
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Text Item.
• See: Training Record, Testing Record.

  • QUOTE: Inductive learning is the explicit or implicit creation of general concept or class descriptions from examples. Many induction problems can be described as follows. A training set of preclassified examples is given, where each example (also called observation or case) is described by a vector of features or attribute values, and the goal is to form a description that can be used to classify previously unseen examples with high accuracy.
