Abstract

A number of different approaches to model analogies and analogical reasoning in AI have been proposed, applying different knowledge representation and mapping strategies. Nevertheless, analogies still seem to be hard to grasp from a formal perspective, with no known treatment in the literature of, in particular, their formal semantics, though the empirical treatments involving human subjects are abundant. In this paper we present a framework that allows to analyze the syntax and the semantics of analogies in a universal logic-based setting without committing ourselves to a specific type of logic. We show that the syntactic process of analogy-making by finding a generalization can be given a sensible interpretation on the semantic level based on the theory of institutions. We then apply these ideas by considering a framework of analogy-making that is based on classical first-order logic.

Fußnoten
1
In [9], an uncommon, third mode is presented, for which a computational model is difficult to implement.
 
2
The reader can refer to [14] for a more exhaustive elaboration on this particular topic of coverage.
 
3
This concept is based on [16, section 5.3].
 
4
The use of ‘implantation’ here is closest in meaning to the notion of ‘embedding’ (in the sense of seeding).
 
5
Remember that, as stated in Sect. 2.1, we refer by an arbitrary logical framework to a general KRR framework that represents knowledge using a logic-based language.
 
6
To improve readability we omit the sortal specifications of terms in this paper.
 
7
Restricted higher-order anti-unification resembles to a certain extent strategies proposed in the context of ontology repair plans [17].
 
8
In fact, the basic substitutions are special cases of second-order substitutions in first-order logic, which can also be described as derived signature morphisms, cf. [16, 101].
