In my view, one of the most vexing of all types of questions used on IQ tests is the one that asks us to complete an analogical formula such as the following one: Bird is to flying as human is to... I ...

People solve new problems readily without any special training or practice by comparing them to familiar problems and extending the solution to the new problem. That process, known as analogical ...

This article addresses the functions analogical reasoning may have in science and everyday life. The focus ranges from the heuristic and probative value of this kind of reasoning to its illustrative ...

Large language models are a class of AI algorithm that relies on a high number computational nodes and an equally large number of connections among them. They can be trained to perform a variety of ...
