Large-Scale Analogical Reasoning

چکیده
Cognitive simulation of analogical processing can be used to answer comparison questions such as: What are the similarities and/or differences between A and B, for concepts A and B in a knowledge base (KB). Previous attempts to use a general-purpose analogical reasoner to answer such questions revealed three major problems: (a) the system presented too much information in the answer, and the salient similarity or difference was not highlighted; (b) analogical inference found some incorrect differences; and (c) some expected similarities were not found. The cause of these problems was primarily a lack of a well-curated KB and, and secondarily, algorithmic deficiencies. In this paper, relying on a wellcurated biology KB, we present a specific implementation of comparison questions inspired by a general model of analogical reasoning. We present numerous examples of answers produced by the system and empirical data on answer quality to illustrate that we have addressed many of the problems of the previous system.

Therefore, analogies can provide a basis for integrated large-scale cognitive syst...
متن کاملMoral Decision-Making by Analogy: Generalizations vs. Exemplars
Moral reasoning is important to model accurately as AI systems become ever more integrated into our lives. Moral reasoning is rapid and unconscious; analogical reasoning, which can be unconscious, is a promising approach to model moral reasoning. This paper explores the use of analogical generalizations to improve moral reasoning. Analogical reasoning has already been used successfully to model...

متن کاملDomain-General Learning of Neural Network Models to Solve Analogy Task - A Large-Scale Simulation
Several computational models have been proposed to explain the mental processes underlying analogical reasoning. However, previous models either lack a learning component or use limited, artificial data for simulations. To address these issues, we build a domain-general neural network model that learns to solve analogy tasks in different modalities, e.g., texts and images. Importantly, it uses ...
متن کاملAnalogical Reasoning with a Synergy of WordNet and HowNet
WordNet and HowNet are large-scale lexical resources that adopt complementary perspectives toward semantic representation. WordNet is differential, inasmuch as it provides a rich taxonomic structure but little in the way of explicit propositional content. HowNet is constructive, and dedicates its representational energies to the explicit definition of relational structures for each lexico-conce...
