The analysis presents fresh insights into this notion of reasoning, which derives from effects to causes or from surprising observations to explanatory theories..The author outlines some logical and AI approaches to abduction as well as studies various kinds of inverse problems in astronomy, physics, medicine, biology, and human sciences to provide examples of retroductions and abductions.
