The invention of the formal study of inductive inference was a direct consequence of efforts to moclel human learning [Go167a, Sch63a]. Much of the early work in inductive inference [Ang83a, Kle80a, Osh86a] and the more recent work [Hau88a, RivS9a, Ful90a, Nat91a, War91a, Da192a] has been motivated by trying to model or understand some aspect of human learning in the hopes that the knowledge gained may be useful in the effort to program a computer to learn. For example, one of the intuitions behind Valiant’s PAC model [Val84a] was that humans learn quickly. This paper is motivated by the intuition that people forget.
