Learning Domain Theories via Analogical Transfer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Learning domain theories is an important challenge for qualitative reasoning. We describe a method for learning new domain theories by analogy. We use analogies between pairs of problems and worked solutions to create a mapping between the familiar and the new domains, and use this mapping to conjecture general knowledge about the new domain. After some knowledge has been learned about the new domain, another analogy is made between the domain theories themselves providing conjectures about the new domain. An experiment is described where the system learns to solve rotational kinematics problems by analogy with translational kinematics problems, outperforming a version of the system that is incrementally given the correct domain theory.

Analogical learning has long been seen as a powerful way of extending the reach of one‟s knowledge. We present the domain transfer via analogy (DTA) method for learning new domain theories via cross-domain analogy. Our model uses analogies between pairs of textbook example problems, or worked solutions, to create a domain mapping between a familiar and a new domain. This mapping allows us to in...

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.

متن کاملAnalogical Reinforcement Learning
Research in analogical reasoning suggests that higher-order cognitive functions such as abstract reasoning, far transfer, and creativity are founded on recognizing structural similarities among relational systems. Here we integrate theories of analogy with the computational framework of reinforcement learning (RL). We propose a computational synergy between analogy and RL, in which analogical c...
