Actually inference is based upon statistical evaluation of data. Inference is a generalization made about a defined "population" from data obtained from one or more "samples". Each member of the population must have an equal chance of being included into a sample. An example would be when a number of people from a particular state are asked who they would vote for. The "inference" would be a generalization that the state favors a particular candidate 55% TO 45%. The validity of the inference would depend upon sample size and how true the sampling was to giving every member of the sampled population (the entire state) an equal chance to be included in the sample.

What is inference in artificial intelligence?

Inference is the act or process of deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true.The conclusion drawn is also called an idiomatic. The laws of valid inference are studied in the field of logic.Or inference can be defined in another way. Inference is the non-logical, but rational, means, through observation of patterns of facts, to indirectly see new meanings and contexts for understanding. Of particular use to this application of inference are anomalies and symbols. Inference, in this sense, does not draw conclusions but opens new paths for inquiry. (See second set of Examples.) In this definition of inference, there are two types of inference: inductive inference and deductive inference. Unlike the definition of inference in the first paragraph above, meaning of word meanings are not tested but meaningful relationships are articulated.
