Analogical_Reasoning

Cross Domain Analogy

patient/laser problem relation to army/road problem

Similarity

similarity spectrum

Phases

Case base reasoning is very similar to analogical reasoning, but analogical reasoning has a mapping and transfer step in addition.

Retrieval

When talking about the relationship of an electron to a neutron in an atom, retrive example of planet relationship to sun in the solar system.

Type of similarity is important, see ##Similarity

case-based reasioning would likely only pull superficially similar or deeply and superficially similar analogies.

Mapping

What in the source problem pertains to what in the target problem.

Solve the correspondence problem:

Transfer

target/source

Once correspondence has been established: induce a pattern of relationships

graph

In a graphical representation, the vertices represent the objects and features, the edges are representing relationships

Evaluation

Evaluation can reach out to prior states, such as retrieval, mapping or transfer to help a source get closer to the goal.

Storage

Store case and solution as a source case and keep for case-based reasoning

Compound Analogy

Use parts of several analogies to combine into one source.
