# A Prototypical Approach to Machine Learning

R. I. Phelps, Peter B. Musgrove

*Proceedings of the Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 698-699.

## Abstract

This paper presents an overview of a research programme on machine learning which is based on the fundamental process of categorization. A structure of a computer model designed to achieve categorization is outlined and the knowledge representational forms and developmental learning associated with this approach are discussed.
