Cross Domain Analogies for Learning Domain Theories
Analogical reasoning has long been seen as a powerful way of extending the reach of ones knowledge. One product of analogical reasoning is analogical learning in which the result of the comparison increases our understanding of some domain. This work describes a method for learning new domain theories by analogy. We use analogies between pairs of problems and worked solutions to create a domain...
متن کاملThe Need for Different Domain-independent Heuristics
PRODIGY’s planning algorithm uses domain-independent search heuristics. In this paper, we support our that there is no ~ search heuristic that performs more efficiently than others for all problems or in all domains. The paper presents three diIFerent domaln-independent search heuristics of increasing complexity. We run PRODIGY with these heuristics in a series of artificial domms (introduced i...
متن کاملWhy do we need theories?
Theories organize knowledge and construct objectivity by framing observations and experiments. The elaboration of theoretical principles is examined in the light of the rich interactions between physics and mathematics. These two disciplines share common principles of construction of concepts and of the proper objects of inquiry. Theory construction in physics relies on mathematical symmetries ...
متن کاملBeliefs in conspiracy theories and the need for cognitive closure
An important component of conspiracy theories is how they influence, and are influenced by, the evaluation of potential evidence. Some individuals may be more open minded regarding certain explanations for events whereas others may seek closure and thus cut off a conspiracy explanation. Two studies examined the relationship between the need for cognitive closure (NFCC), levels of belief in real...
متن کاملVarieties of ignorance and the need for well-founded theories
The great danger in computer implementation of approximate reasoning is the use of inappropriate, unjustified, ad hoc models. Newcomers in the domain of commonsense reasoning could be overwhelmed by the multitude of models. Their reaction could be either to accept one of them and use it in every context or to use all of them somehow at random. Both attitudes are wrong. The stubborn use of one m...
