"Bias is a term used to describe a tendency or preference towards a particular perspective, ideology or result, especially when the tendency interferes with the ability to be impartial, unprejudiced, or objective. The term biased is used to describe an action, judgment, or other outcome influenced by a prejudged perspective. It is also used to refer to a person or body of people whose actions or judgments exhibit bias." -Wikipedia (28.10.2008)

"Learning involves the ability to generalize from past experience in order to deal with new situations that are ”related to” this experience. The inductive leap needed to deal with new situations seems to be possible only under certain biases for choosing one generalization of the situation over another.

If consistency with the training instances is taken as the sole determiner of appropriate generalizations, then a program can never make the inductive leap necessary to classify instances beyond those it has observed."
-Mitchell, T.M. (1980). The need for biases in learning generalizations
