   There is the ongoing work by Tecuci, et al , at George Mason University   
   using the Disciple Apprentice learning system.  This is not about   
   theory refinement in general but focuses on refining a particular   
   ontology and particular tasks in a specific domain.  The refinement   
   process forces the user to update the ontology as Disciple generates   
   correct and incorrect rules based on examples presented to the system.   
   The user also explains why some of the generated rules are incorrect,   
   etc.  This kind of cooperative refinement results in an increasingly   
   correct (but still possibly incomplete) and potentially reusable   
   ontology while the rules generated from task decomposition apply to the   
   specific problems of concern to the user.
