  abduction
       
           The process of inference to the best explanation.
       
          "Abduction" is sometimes used to mean just the generation of
          hypotheses to explain observations or conclusionsm, but the
          former definition is more common both in philosophy and
          computing.
       
          The semantics and the implementation of abduction cannot be
          reduced to those for deduction, as explanation cannot be
          reduced to implication.
       
          Applications include fault diagnosis, plan formation and
          default reasoning.
       
          Negation as failure in logic programming can both be given
          an abductive interpretation and also can be used to implement
          abduction.  The abductive semantics of negation as failure
          leads naturally to an argumentation-theoretic interpretation
          of default reasoning in general.
