Reasoning by Analogy Using Past Experiences.
Fabio Leuzzi, Stefano Ferilli · 2013
Abstract. Reasoning by analogy is essential to provide new conclusions helpful to solve a problem. Here we present the definition of a new operator aimed at reasoning by analogy. The proposed reasoner relies on the Roles Mapping Engine. It finds analogous roles encoded in descriptions that use domain-specific terminology, overcoming syntactical constraints that limit the relations to have the same name. We employ also a structural similarity function to face cases affected by ambiguity. We evaluate our approach using examples proposed in other works, producing comparable results. 1
