Figure 26

Combining hypotheses. The abstraction of the hypotheses permits new ways of combining knowledge units to be defined. Creating hypothesis combination operators is possible; in this figure hypothesis ha and hb are combined using a conjunction operator to produce hab. If hab is a valuable unit of knowledge (e.g. provides enough information gain) then it can be kept and inserted in the knowledge. This is a form of meta-learning.
