Incorporating Explanation-Based Generalization with Analogical Reasoning
نویسندگان
چکیده
The EBG system builds an explanation and learns a concept de nition as its generalization provided a domain theory is complete. It does not work when a domain theory is incomplete. Then we introduce a notion of generalizations by an analogy which makes it possible to construct rules necessary for domain theories. Furthermore, we develop EBG by analogical reasoning which copes with the incompleteness by using generalizations by an analogy. We rst formulate EBG in a mathematical way, construct EBG by analogical reasoning in terms of our formulation, and realize EBG by analogical reasoning system as a Prolog program.

Inductive , analogical , and communicative generalization .
Three forms of inductive generalization statistical generalization, variation-based generalization and theory-carried generalization are insufficient concerning case-to-case generalization, which is a form of analogical generalization. The quality of case-to-case generalization needs to be reinforced by setting up explicit analogical argumentation. To evaluate analogical argumentation six crite...
متن کاملPartially Isomorphic Generalization and Analogical Reasoning
Analogical reasoning is carried out based on an analogy which gives a similarity between a base domain and a target domain. Thus, the analogy plays an important role in analogical reasoning. However, computing such an analogy leads to a combinatorial explosion. This paper introduces partially isomorphic generalizations of atoms and rules which make it possible to carry out analogical reasoning ...
متن کاملIs the Link from Working Memory to Analogy Causal? No Analogy Improvements following Working Memory Training Gains
Analogical reasoning has been hypothesized to critically depend upon working memory through correlational data, but less work has tested this relationship through experimental manipulation. An opportunity for examining the connection between working memory and analogical reasoning has emerged from the growing, although somewhat controversial, body of literature suggests complex working memory t...
متن کاملAbstract analogical reasoning in high-functioning children with autism spectrum disorders.
Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) exhibit a deficit in spontaneously recognizing abstract similarities that are crucial for generalizing learning to new situations. This may contribute to deficits in the development of appropriate schemas for navigating novel situations, including social interactions. Analogical reasoning is the central cognitive mechanism that enables typically dev...
متن کاملAre all analogies created equal? Prefrontal cortical functioning may predict types of analogical reasoning.
Abstract The proposed theory can account for analogies based on learned relationships between elements in the source and target domains. However, its explanatory power regarding the discovery of new relationships during analogical reasoning is limited. We offer an alternative perspective for the role of PFC in analogical thought that may better address different types of analogical mappings.
