{"pk":30794,"title":"Structural Evaluation of Analogies: What Counts?","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Judgments of similarity and soundness are important aspects of human analogical processing. This paper explores how these judgments can be modeled using SME, a simulation of Centner's structure-mapping theory. W e focus on structural evaluation, explicating several principles which psychologically plausible algorithms should follow. W e introduce the Specificity Conjecture, which claims that naturalistic representations include a preponderance of appearance and low-order information. W e demonstrate via computational experiments that this conjecture affects how structural evaluation should be performed, including the choice of normalization technique and how the systematicity preference is implemented.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Paper Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4hn1w82q","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Kenneth","middle_name":"D.","last_name":"Forbus","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Illinois","department":""},{"first_name":"Dedre","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gentner","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1989-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30794/galley/20643/download/"}]}
