Well a strict logic question would be "All swans are white. Lily is a swan. What color is Lily?"

But induction is more like learning about the world by observing it, and making probable guesses. So it may be correct for a machine to observe that if one swan is white, the best guess for the color of another swan (in the absence of other info) is white.

Thanks, your first sentence is more like what I was expecting before reading the example.

I'm not familiar with that definition of induction, but I haven't studied ML at all.
