Relational similarity and the nonindependence of features in similarity judgments.
Four experiments examined the hypothesis that simple attributional features and relational features operate differently in the determination of similarity judgments. Forced choice similarity judgments ("Is X or Y more similar to Z?") and similarity rating tasks demonstrate that making the same featural change in two geometric stimuli unequally affects their judged similarity to a third stimulus...
متن کاملFluency in Similarity Judgments
Similarity judgments have traditionally been assumed to arise from an alignment process that seeks correspondences between the objects and relations for two entities. Several recent studies have shown that thematic relationships between items (e.g. bowl and spoon) can influence people’s assessments of similarity above and beyond the effect of feature match and mismatch. We suggest that thematic...
متن کاملLatent Features in Similarity Judgments: A Nonparametric Bayesian Approach
One of the central problems in cognitive science is determining the mental representations that underlie human inferences. Solutions to this problem often rely on the analysis of subjective similarity judgments, on the assumption that recognizing likenesses between people, objects, and events is crucial to everyday inference. One such solution is provided by the additive clustering model, which...
متن کاملA Nonparametric Bayesian Method for Inferring Features From Similarity Judgments
The additive clustering model is widely used to infer the features of a set of stimuli from their similarities, on the assumption that similarity is a weighted linear function of common features. This paper develops a fully Bayesian formulation of the additive clustering model, using methods from nonparametric Bayesian statistics to allow the number of features to vary. We use this to explore s...
متن کاملSemantic Similarity Measure Using Relational and Latent Topic Features
Computing the semantic similarity between words is one of the key challenges in many language-based applications. Previous work tends to use the contextual information of words to disclose the degree of their similarity. In this paper, we consider the relationships between words in local contexts as well as latent topic information of words to propose a new distributed representation of words f...
