Constructing Hierarchical Concepts via Analogical Generalization
Chen Liang, Kenneth D. Forbus · eScholarship (California Digital Library) · 2014
Learning hierarchical concepts is a central problem in cognitive science.This paper explores the Nearest-Merge algorithm for creating hierarchical clusters that can handle both feature-based and relational information, building on the SAGE model of analogical generalization.We describe its results on three data sets, showing that it provides reasonable fits with human data and comparable results to Bayesian models.
