DEF

A form of inference sometimes used in mathematics to set up new theorems. It is reasoned that, if two or more things agree in some respects, they will probably agree in others. Exact proofs must, of course, be made to determine the validity of any theorems set up by this method.

OBS

The analogy procedure is made up of rule description, rule matching, and rule selection.

DEF

Modèle de comparaison de schémas. Le raisonnement prend la forme : B est comme A; si A est vrai, B devient plus vraisemblable; si A est faux, B devient moins vraisemblable.

DEF

Processus de dérivation de sentences caractérisant une situation inconnue à partir de sentences caractérisant une situation connue et similaire, par application de règles d'inférence analogique et d'opérateurs éventuels d'adaptation.

CONT

L'intelligence artificielle a mis en évidence la nécessité de l'existence simultanée de relations de causalité, et définit l'analogie plutôt comme un raisonnement qui combine similarité et causalité.
