# Some Principles Of Artificial Learning That Have Emerged From Examples

J. Knapman

*Proceedings of the Fourth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 253-258.

## Abstract

We argue that A.I. should not lose sight of theneed for general principles when working with problem8 in specific domains. We also argue the case for studying Artificial Learning. We present a computer program with a very limited sense modality that acquires some facility with the English language and learns some numerical concepts. The principles by which such learning takes place are expressed in terms of a concept of process and they prove to be applicable to learning the decimal numeral system and forming elementary utterances as well as ' learning to interpret English sentences.
