Constructing Hierarchical Concepts via Analogical Generalization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Learning hierarchical concepts is a central problem in cognitive science. This paper explores the Nearest-Merge algorithm for creating hierarchical clusters that can handle both feature-based and relational information, building on the SAGE model of analogical generalization. We describe its results on three data sets, showing that it provides reasonable fits with human data and comparable results to Bayesian models.

Extending Analogical Generalization with Near-Misses
Concept learning is a central problem for cognitive systems. Generalization techniques can help organize examples by their commonalities, but comparisons with non-examples, near-misses, can provide discrimination. Early work on near-misses required hand-selected examples by a teacher who understood the learner’s internal representations. This paper introduces Analogical Learning by Integrating ...
متن کاملLearning concepts from sketches via analogical generalization and near-misses
Modeling how concepts are learned from experience is an important challenge for cognitive science. In cognitive psychology, progressive alignment, i.e., comparing highly similar examples, has been shown to lead to rapid learning. In AI, providing negative examples (near-misses) that are very similar has been proposed as another way to accelerate learning. This paper describes a model of concept...

This project conducted basic research aimed at creating software systems that can collaborate naturally with people over extended periods of time. This involved investigating how to make a habitable combination of natural language and sketch understanding that supports interactive learning of complex domains, including giving advice, learning by reading, and learning by demonstration. We develo...
متن کاملEncoding Strategies for Learning Geographical Concepts via Analogy
Creating systems that can work with people as apprentices, learning from them in natural ways, is a long-standing goal of AI. Being able to teach systems new concepts via sketching is an important step towards this goal. This paper explores the role of qualitative representations in learning geographic concepts indicated on 2D maps. We propose three principles for representation bias when learn...
متن کاملCombining progressive alignment and near-misses to learn concepts from sketches
Learning to classify examples as concepts is an important challenge for cognitive science. In cognitive psychology analogical generalization, i.e., abstracting the common structure of highly similar examples, has been shown to lead to rapid learning. In AI, providing very similar negative examples (near-misses) has been shown to accelerate learning. This paper describes a model of concept learn...
