Tunneling Neural Perception and Logic Reasoning through Abductive Learning (2018, background): “It has been suggested that abduction is the key to the entangled relationship between sub-symbolic perception and symbolic reasoning connections [30].”
Learning by Fixing: Solving Math Word Problems with Weak Supervision (2020, positive): “To improve the efficiency of weakly-supervised learning, we propose a novel fixing mechanism to learn from incorrect predictions, which is inspired by the human ability to learn from failures via abductive reasoning (Magnani 2009; Zhou 2019a).”
Explanations and Context in the Emergence of Students' Informal Inferential Reasoning (2011, background): “, 2004) (Episode 2b); triggered the use of contextual considerations (Episode 2b); were a device to resolve conflicts between expectations and data (Episode 3); and became a vehicle through which creative perception could be expressed (a plausible hypothesis in Episode 2b) (Magnini, 2009).”
