Analogy as Structure Mapping
Iris van Rooij, Mark Blokpoel, Johan Kwisthout, Todd Wareham · Cambridge University Press eBooks · 2019
In this chapter, we consider a computational-level theory of analogy derivation as structure mapping. We again illustrate the use of classical complexity analysis to assess the theory's intractability. In addition, we show how parameterized complexity analysis can be used to formally assess intuitive conjectures about possible sources of this intractability. This illustration demonstrates that such intuitions can often be wrong, underscoring the importance of formal analyses.
