We find that a major benefit of analogy is that it reduces the extent to which the source domain must be generalized before transfer. We describe two techniques in particular, minimal ascension and metamapping, that enable analogies to be drawn even when comparing descriptions using different relational vocabularies. Evidence for the effectiveness of these techniques is provided by a large-scale external evaluation, involving a substantial number of novel distant analogs.}, number={1}, journal={AI Magazine}, author={Hinrichs, Thomas and Forbus, Kenneth D.}, year={2011}, month={Mar.}, pages={70} }
