 Deduction, induction, and abduction Information Sciences Applications in information sciences include fault diagnosis, belief revision, and automated planning. The most direct application of abduction is that of automatically detecting faults in systems: given a theory relating faults with their effects and a set of observed effects, abduction can be used to derive sets of faults that are likely to be the cause of the problem.
In the 1990s, as computing power grew, the fields of law,See, e.g. Analysis of Evidence, 2d ed. by Terence Anderson (Cambridge University Press, 2005) computer science, and artificial intelligence researchFor examples, see "Abductive Inference in Reasoning and Perception", John R. Josephson, Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence Research, Ohio State University, and Abduction, Reason, and Science. Processes of Discovery and Explanation by Lorenzo Magnani (Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, New York, 2001). spurred renewed interest in the subject of abduction. Diagnostic expert systems frequently employ abduction.Reggia, James A., et al. "Answer justification in diagnostic expert systems-Part I: Abductive inference and its justification."
