Abstract:
1. An active learning decision engine, comprising: hypotheses storage configured to store hypotheses, where a hypothesis comprises a possible solution to a problem set; equivalence class storage configured to store equivalence classes, where an equivalence class comprises at least one hypothesis in the hypotheses having a shared class of solution to the problem set; test storage configured to store a set of tests, where a test in the set of tests comprise a set of related hypotheses, a test cost, and a test outcome; observation storage configured to store observations, where an observation comprises a test result observed from the running of a test in the set of tests stored in the test storage; edge storage configured to store a set of edges, where an edge comprises a test related to a first hypothesis and a second hypothesis in the hypotheses, where the first hypothesis and the second hypothesis are in distinct equivalence classes; and a processor, where the processor is configured to:
