Induction is a research area within the field of artificial intelligence that focuses on the development of computer algorithms and techniques that allow machines to learn and make predictions based on incomplete or limited data. It deals with the task of inferring general rules, patterns, or regularities from specific examples or observations. Induction is a fundamental aspect of machine learning, as it enables machines to generalize from past experiences and make predictions about new, unseen data. This research area encompasses various methods and algorithms, such as decision trees, neural networks, and support vector machines, that are used to train machines to recognize patterns and make accurate predictions.
