%3. Past Usage:
%   -- testing concept learning software, in particular
%      an experimental method to learn two-tiered concept descriptions.
%      The data was used to learn the description of an acceptable
%      and unacceptable contract.
%      The unacceptable contracts were either obtained by interviewing
%      experts, or by inventing near misses.
%      Examples of use are described in:
%	Bergadano, F., Matwin, S., Michalski, R.,
%	Zhang, J., Measuring Quality of Concept Descriptions,
%	Procs. of the 3rd European Working Sessions on Learning,
%	Glasgow, October 1988.
