Abstract

The concept of similarity between objects has traditionally been taken as the criterion for recognising their membership of a given class. This paper considers how well an object fits into a class introduced into the LAMDA learning system [6],[9]. This fit is termed "adequacy". The Global Adequacy Degree (GAD) is a function of the object's class membership. An adequacy threshold is associated with a non-informative class (NIC). Objects falling below this threshold value are not considered to belong to any significant class. In this research, the tensions produced by a classification scheme are based on the adequacy of an object in a class. This allows us to analyse the stability or balance of the scheme.
