This paper is an overview of formal learning theory that emphasizes the philosophical motivation for the mathematical definitions. I introduce key concepts at a slow pace, comparing and contrasting with other approaches to inductive inference such as confirmation theory. A number of examples are discussed, some in detail, such as Goodman's Riddle of Induction. I outline some important results of formal learning theory that are of philosophical interest. Finally, I discuss recent developments in this approach to inductive inference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
