A key to the generalization process is the formulation of partial characterizations and probabilities within a generalized logical framework. The logic and the algorithms are implemented in a general way within an object-oriented framework. The pattern of the methods are defined in a super class and specific variations of the algorithms and logical data are either defined in the derived classes or during runtime specifications. =keywords= fuzzy logic, machine learning, object-oriented
