    "title": "Extending a Model of Human Plausible Reasoning",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "When one looks at transcripts of people answering questions or carrying on dialogues about everyday matters, their comments are filled with plausible inferences -- inferences that are not certain, but that make sense. Often, in forming these inferences, generalizations are made that are equally uncertain, but are nevertheless useful as a guide to their reasoning. This paper describes some extensions to our earlier description of a core theory of plausible reasoning (Collins and Michalski, 1989), based in large part on a recent protocol study. The primary focus is on the inductive inference patterns people use to form plausible generalizations, weakly held beliefs based on few examples. W e also show how the model was extended to deal with plausible inferences involving continuous quantities and inequalities.",
