2 Concept Description What is a Concept? Concept describes a set of objects or events It is a subset of a complete description of a larger set of objects What is Concept Description? It is a representation of concept using a notation Pictorially Understanding a Concept Set of Objects Described by the Concept Set of All Objects 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 5 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 6 Representation of Concepts We use a sequence of (attribute, value) pairs Method: Identify set of all objects (S) to which the concept belongs to. Let S indicate the set of all objects Let S c indicate the set of all objects described by the concept Identify all the attributes that describe the set of objects, S A = {a 1, a 2,, a n } Domains of attributes, D = {d 1, d 2,, d n } Identify the subdomains of D that describe concept D c = {d 1, d 2,, d n } Concepts Example1 Example: Oranges S = Set of all fruit S c = set of oranges A = {Color, Taste, Shape, Size, Skin} Domain D D(Color) = {Red, Orange, Blue, Green} D(Taste) = {Bitter, Sweet, No_Taste} D(Shape) = {Spherical, Long, Oval, Cone} D(Size) = {Small, Medium, Large} D(Skin) = {Thin, Thick, No_Skin} Concept of Orange = <Color = {Orange}, Taste = {Bitter, Sweet}, Shape = {Spherical}, Size = {Medium}, Skin = {Thick}> 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 7 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 8 2

3 Exercise Using Concept Descriptions Write the concept description for Arch. Consider S to be the set of all configuration of three elements. 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 9 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 10 Test Example How does a machine use the concept? Concept Description Performance System /- Example Given the concept description for Orange, is the following example (test) an orange (this is an indirect way of asking whether it is an object covered by the concept) Example: <Color = red, Taste = sweet, Shape = spherical, Size = small, Skin = thin> : Test Example is a member of objects defined by the concept description -: Test example is not a member 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 11 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 12 3

4 Method for Performance System 1. C = concept description 2. = Test Example 3. Select the next a i A 1. concept_domain_values Domain_Values(C, a i ) 2. example_domain_values Domain_Values(, a i ) 3. If (example_domain_values concept_domain_values) 1. Go to 3 4. Else return - 4. return Exercise Using the Arch concept description, find whether the following (test) example is covered by the concept description or not. 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 13 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 14 Concept Learning Task Training Examples Training Examples Learning Algorithm Concept Description 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 15 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 16 4

5 Training Examples: EnjoySport Training Example: Cells Exa mpl e Sky Air Temp Humid ity Wind Wate r Foreca st Enjoy Sport 1 Sunny Warm Normal Strong Warm Same Yes 2 Sunny Warm High Strong Warm Same Yes Positive Negative Negative Positive 3 Rainy Cold High Strong Warm Change No 4 Sunny Warm High Strong Cool Change Yes 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 17 Attributes: <tails, nuclei, color, wall> Examples: (<2, 2, dark, thin>, 1) (<2, 1, light, thin>, 0) (<1, 2, dark, thick>, 0) (<2, 2, light, thin>, 1) 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 18 Training Examples: IsAnimal Exercise: Arch cat (<4, fur, meow>, 1) dog (<4, fur, bark>, 1) rose (<0, thorns, 0>, 0) tree (<1, scales, 0>, 0) Attributes: {Number_of_limbs, Skin_covering, Make_sound} Draw Training examples for Arch 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 19 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 20 5

6 Concept Learning Algorithm: Find-S Main Idea When we start we do not know target function (Concept Description) We derive target function Incrementally in a number of steps At each step, we come up with an approximate solution It is an approximation of the target function (the desired final solution) We call each approximate solution as a hypothesis We keep refining until we cover all the training examples 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 21 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 22 Hypothesis What is a hypothesis? Hypothesis is an approximation of final solution The final solution is target function (concept description) Since we cannot arrive at final solution in one step, hypothesis allows us to store intermediate solutions What is an approximate solution? It is not exactly the final solution But it has some features of the final solution Some features may not be correct Representation of Hypothesis Many possible representations Here h is conjunction of constraints on attributes Each constraint can be a specific value (e.g., Water = Warm) a don t care value (e.g., Water =?) no value allowed (e.g., Water = 0) Example: Sky AirTemp Humid Wind Water Forecst <Sunny?? Strong? Same> 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 23 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 24 6

7 General, Specific Hypotheses General Specific Relation Most General hypothesis It represents all objects That is, all possible training examples are covered Representation: <?,?,?,?,?,?> Most Specific hypothesis: It does not represent any training examples or any objects Representation: <0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0> There are hypotheses at different levels of generality (or specificity) Examples: General: <Sunny, Warm,?, Strong,?,?> Specific: <Sunny, Warm, High, Strong,?, Same> 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 25 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 26 General Specific Relation Natural Structure: General Specific Intuition for Search Strategies: By using this relationship, we can exhaustively search through the hypothesis space without explicitly enumerating every hypothesis Formalization of Natural Structure for Search If h2 is more general than h1 & if h1 classifies a set of instances as positive Then h2 classifies this set and additional instances as positive Definition: Satisfies: For any instance x in and hypothesis h in H, x satisfies h if and only if h(x) = 1 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 27 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 28 7

8 Formalizing more_general_than Relation Definition: more_general_than_or_equal_to: Let h j and h k be boolean-valued functions defined over. Then h j is more_general_than_or_equal_to h k (written h j g h k ) if and only if ( x )[(h k (x) = 1) (h j (x) = 1)] Formalization (contd) Definition: strictly_more_general_than: h j > g h k if and only if (h j g h k ) Λ (h k g h j ) Definition: more_specific_than: h j is more specific than h k when h k is more general than h j 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 29 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 30 Find-S Algorithm: Visualization Find-S Algorithm: Using Functional Description Main Idea: Navigate through hypothesis space Goal: Arrive at most specific hypothesis Covers all positive training examples (instances) Eliminates all negative training examples Algorithm: Start with most specific hypothesis, h Select next training example, e If e is positive, generalize h to include e If e is negative, ignore it 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 31 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 32 8

9 Mechanism for Generalizing A hypothesis is a conjunction of constraints h = c 1 c 2 c n Here c i = (attribute, value) A training example, x = <(att, val), (att, val), > Algorithm: For each attribute, a: If value(a, x) does not satisfy value(a, h) Generalize value(a, h) to include value(a, x) Otherwise, do nothing Example x = (<Sky =sunny, AirTemp= warm, Humidity=high, Wind=strong, Water= warm, Forecast=same>, ) h = <Sky =sunny, AirTemp= warm, Humidity=normal, Wind=strong, Water= warm, Forecast=same> Only Humidity does not cover x The generalized hypothesis: h = <Sky =sunny, AirTemp= warm, Humidity={normal, high}, Wind=strong, Water= warm, Forecast=same> 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 33 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 34 Find-S Algorithm h most-specific hypothesis For each training example, x If x is positive For each attribute constraint ac in h If constraint ac is not satisfied by x» Replace ac in h by immediately more general constraint that is satisfied by x Exercises Learn the concept of arch Learn the concept of cell Learn the concept of animal 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 35 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 36 9

10 Analysis Convergence to Correct Target Concept Find-S cannot determine Preferring most specific hypothesis Not clear about extent of generalization What about inconsistent examples Gives errors 1/22/2006 ML2006_ConceptLearning 37 10
