Analogy-making can be reformulated as other problems, so even if it's not named this way it's still associated with many approaches to learning. Recalling relevant knowledge is about the same thing as analogy-making, and in lifelong learning almost all knowledge comes from past experience, so perception of current scene consists of recalling refined elements of this experience. So, could you elucidate on why do you specifically address analogy-making? -- Vladimir Nesov mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=49862316-ecf9ff
