Analogical Reasoning Perspectives of Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, and Philosophy
In the last few years, there has been an enormous amount of activity in the study of analogy and metaphor. This is partly because of an interest of artificial intelligence researchers in simulating learning processes using analogy. It also arises from critical examinations of standard theories in th...
