Defination of Transduction and Induction
- transductive learning:In logic, statistical inference, and supervised learning, transduction or transductive inference is reasoning from observed, specific (training) cases to specific (test) cases.
- In contrast, induction is reasoning from observed training cases to general rules, which are then applied to the test cases.
- 区别:induction 从训练样例推断出通用规则,应用该规则到测试样例;而transduction从训练样例做推理到测试样例。
- The distinction is most interesting in cases where the predictions of the transductive model are not achievable by any inductive model.(transductive模型的预测结果是任何inductive模型都做不到的。)
- Note that this is caused by transductive inference on different test sets producing mutually inconsistent predictions.(造
