Abstract

This paper proposes a domain-independent method to evaluate inferences for analogical reasoning, via a prototype system. The system assigns analogical inferences confidences based on the quality of the mapping and the system's confidence in the facts used to generate the inference. An initial implementation is applied to two domains.
