Learning by Analogy in Soar

Learning by Analogy in Soar

Steir and Adelson (1990) describe a Soar system that built analogies in learning how a "stack" computer data type could be learned. This system was called Data-Soar. A problem space called Use-Analogy was established that allowed the comparison of different functionalities within the space. As relationships were discovered, chunks were created that captured the discovered analogy. This is a simple example of several small tasks that have been accomplished to demonstrate the capability of analogical learning in Soar. However, extensive use of analogical learning has not been investigated.
