Description:: In the Western Common Law tradition, legal decisions constrain and guide future cases involving the same legal issues. Although the legal academy disagrees about the specific nature of such precedential reasoning, including about the role of analogy in legal reasoning, there is ample evidence from cognitive science that analogical learning...

Description:: Designing intelligent systems that can answer questions has been an ongoing and active challenge for the artificial intelligence community. In the past, researchers were focused on producing specialized language systems for particular domains and datasets. Such approaches would require deeper-than-ideal amounts of expertise to design, and often necessitated the expensive...

Description:: Automated sketch collaborators might help us create more dynamic intelligent tutoring systems, work out designs, reduce bias in solving spatial social problems, and organize our ideas. Here, we examine some properties of sketch recognition methods designed to help serve that goal. Structure Mapping techniques are applied to symbolic structural descriptions...

Description:: This work presents a cognitive model of argument structure construction acquisition and application based on analogy. The claims of this model are that (1) constructions, pairings of form and meaning, are a productive unit of linguistic analysis that account for a broader range of phenomena than traditional approaches; (2) human...

Description:: “Quartering the Wind” explores the unorthodox, unstable, and seditious political values that undermined early modern English arguments for what is “natural” in human governance. I examine texts that expose a politically intricate natural world that serves no single model of orthodox politics. While ecocritical treatments of political analogies drawn from...
