| abduction |
Reasoning from an effect to its cause. If some theory states "if A then B" (A causes B) and you know B, then by abduction you infer A. Although logically invalid, abduction proves very useful in the real world, for instance when a doctor diagnoses a disease from symptoms. Generalization is a form of abduction, where he target concept is the diagnosis and the observed attributes of examples are the symptoms. From Ian Witten.
