Is this named after Karl Popper? If so that’s unfortunate because Popper spent his life arguing against the validity of inductive reasoning in science. His distinctive contribution was to try to describe a scientific method that did not depend on induction.
Popper is named after Karl Poppper, whose idea of falsification [53] inspired our approach, as it did
Shapiro’s MIS approach [61]. In fact, one can view our approach as Popper’s idea of falsification, where
a failure is a refutation/falsification. In other words, in our approach, a learner deduces what hypotheses
cannot be true and prunes them from the hypothesis space, leaving only hypotheses not yet refuted.

Looks like it is, from the paper:
Well that makes more sense. Thanks for the information!
