Most everyone, including the experts, would agree that analogy-making is best defined as a process that creates a mapping between items in one domain (often called the source) to “similar” items in another domain (often called the target). Based on this definition, many researchers have attempted to model analogy-making by creating a mapping between two sets of data structures that represent th...

Pronunciation-by-analogy (PbA) is an emerging technique for text-phoneme conversion based on a psychological model of reading aloud. This paper explores the impact of certain basic implementational choices on the performance of various PbA models. These have been tested on their ability to pronounce sets of short pseudowords previously used in similar studies, as well as lexical words temporari...

Introduction making the appropriate lower-order substitutions. For examAnalogy is important to connectionism by reasons of affinity ple, Clement and Gentner (1991) showed people analogous stories and asked them to state which of two assertions shared and difference : affinity because analogical reasoning lays claim by base and target was most important to the match . Subjects o connectionist ad...

Requests for recommendation can be seen as a form of query for candidate items, ranked by relevance. Users are however o‰en unable to crisply de€ne what they are looking for. One of the core concepts of natural communication for describing and explaining complex information needs in an intuitive fashion are analogies: e.g., “What is to Christopher Nolan as is 2001: A Space Odyssey to Stanley Ku...

Context appears in two forms in analogy. First, there is the context in which the analogy is performed. Second, each statement being compared is done so within the context of each analogue's overall description. By explicitly taking context into account, we can provide a more robust account of analogy. Central to this account is that each element of an analogue's description has an identifiable...

Internal analogy tries to reuse solutions of subproblems within the same problem solving process. In mathematical theorem proving several patterns are known where internal analogy suggests itself. Hence, we propose the use of internal analogy in automated theorem proving. This paper investigates the possibility of incorporating internal analogy into the inductive proof planner CL A M. It introd...
