Learning by Analogical Bootstrapping
Analogies are typically drawn from a well-understood situation to a situation that is poorly understood. In this research, we investigate a different route to analogical insight. We suggest that mutual alignment-that is, comparison between 2 partially understood situations--can act to promote comprehension and abstraction. We presented participants with 2 analogous scenarios depicting heat flow...
متن کاملTranslating Unknown Words by Analogical Learning
Unknown words are a well-known hindrance to natural language applications. In particular, they drastically impact machine translation quality. An easy way out commercial translation systems usually offer their users is the possibility to add unknown words and their translations into a dedicated lexicon. Recently, Stroppa and Yvon (2005) have shown how analogical learning alone deals nicely with...
متن کاملExplaining Effective Learning by Analogical Reasoning
Machine learning algorithms are usually considered as explicit learning strategies requiring large data samples. Contrary to these accounts, cognitive learning seems to be based on significantly less amounts of training data and occurs often in the form of implicit learning. In order to close this gap we propose to explain these discrepancies by a form of analogical learning, bridging these two...
متن کاملBootstrapping the Mind: Analogical Processes and Symbol Systems
Human cognition is striking in its brilliance and its adaptability. How do we get that way? How do we move from the nearly helpless state of infants to the cognitive proficiency that characterizes adults? In this paper I argue, first, that analogical ability is the key factor in our prodigious capacity, and, second, that possession of a symbol system is crucial to the full expression of analogi...
متن کاملLearning Naïve Physics Models by Analogical Generalization
How do people learn intuitive models of the world from experience? We describe a simulation that uses analogical generalization to learn naïve models of pushing and blocking from experience. Experiences are represented by a type of comic strip, consisting of sequences of sketches and simplified English that are automatically encoded by the simulation. We show that the models it learns are compa...
