| Description | In this paper, we tackle learning in distributed systems and the fact that learning does not necessarily involve the participation of agents directly in the inductive process it-self. Instead, many systems frequently employ multiple in-stances of induction separately. The paper’s main contri-bution is a new approach that tightly integrates processes of induction between distributed agents, based on inductive logic programming techniques, for a wider class of prob-lem solving tasks. The approach combines inverse entail-ment with an epistemic approach to reasoning about knowl-edge, facilitating a systematic approach to the sharing of knowledge and invention of predicates only when required. We illustrate the approach for learning declarative program fragments and for a well-known path planning problem and compare results empirically to (multiple instances of) single agent-based induction over varying distributions of data. Given a chosen path planning algorithm, our algorithm en-ables agents to combine their local knowledge in an effec-tive way to avoid central control while significantly reduc-ing communication costs. 1. |
