Currently, CF-induction computes hypotheses by applying combinations of several complex generalisation operators to an intermediate theory called a bridge formula. In this paper we propose an alternative approach whereby hypotheses are derived from a bridge formula using a single deductive operator and a single inductive operator. We show that our simplified procedure preserves the soundness and completeness of CF-induction.}, abstract-url={http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/Publications/pub_master.jsp?id=2000832}, url={http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/Publications/Papers/2000832.pdf}, keyword={Artificial Intelligence,Machine Learning}, pubtype={102} }
