HR measures properties of concepts and assesses the theorems and proofs involving them to estimate the interestingness of each concept and employ a b es t first search. This approach has led HR to the discovery of interesting new mathematics and enables it to build theories from just the axioms of finite algebras.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1999/112","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1999/0112.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1999/112.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1999/bibtex/112","volume":{"slug":"1999","title":"Proceedings of the Sixteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1999","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1999/","year":1999,"location":"Stockholm, Sweden","dates":"","editors":"Thomas Dean","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Machine Learning","track":"Machine Learning","number":112,"pages":{"first":786,"last":792},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
