This thesis seeks to address word reasoning problems from a semantic standpoint, proposing a uniform approach for generating solutions while also providing human-understandable explanations. Current state of the art solvers of semantic problems rely on traditional machine learning methods. Therefore their results are not easily reusable by algorithms or interpretable by humans. We propose lever...

The way that securities service institutions assume tort liability in false representation disputes is limited to joint by law. Considering the discretion principle of punishment according quantity institutions, proportionate appears judicial practice. liability, different from regulated other countries comparative field vision, still nature, which China mainly specified environmental disputes....

In this paper we propose a new technique for image segmentation based on contour detection using image analogies principle. A set of artificial patterns are used to locate contours of any query image. Each pattern allow the location of contours corresponding to specific intensity variation. Boundaries are extracted based on the properties of located contours. In addition, elementary regions der...

Analogy is a special kind of similarity (see Goldstone & Son, Chap. 2). Two situations are analogous if they share a common pattern of relationships among their constituent elements even though the elements themselves differ across the two situations. Typically, one analog, termed the source or base, is more familiar or better understood than the second analog, termed the target. This asymmetry...

We give a comparative description of the Poisson structures on the moduli spaces of flat connections on real surfaces and holomorphic Poisson structures on the moduli spaces of holomorphic bundles on complex surfaces. The symplectic leaves of the latter are classified by restrictions of the bundles to certain divisors. This can be regarded as fixing a “complex analogue of the holonomy” of a con...

We give a comparative description of the Poisson structures on the moduli spaces of at connections on real surfaces and holomorphic Poisson structures on the moduli spaces of holomorphic bundles on complex surfaces. The symplectic leaves of the latter are classiied by restrictions of the bundles to certain divisors. This can be regarded as xing a \complex analogue of the holonomy" of a connecti...

Three theories of analogy have been proposed that are supported by computational models and data from experiments on human analogical abilities. In this article we show how these theories can be unified within a common metatheoretical framework that distinguishes among levels of informational, behavioral, and hardware constraints. This framework clarifies the distinctions among three computatio...
