Procedure to automatically eliminate hypotheses based on integrated trial results aaa Incorrect hypotheses are not explicitly removed at any stage of the discovery cycle, rather the collection of more evidence will result in some hypotheses no longer being consistent with all of the available evidence. The aim of experiment selection is to choose an experiment that will refute a large number of candidate hypothesis regardless of the actual outcome of the experiment. Hypotheses generation by C-Progol only generates those hypotheses consistent with the background theory and the set of training examples.
