A Reasoning System using Inductive Inference of Analogical Union

A Reasoning System Using Inductive Inference of Analogical Union

Analogical reasoning derives a new fact based on the analogous facts previously known. Inductive inference is a process of gaining a general rule from examples. We propose a new reasoning system using inductive inference and analogical reasoning, which is applicable to intellectual information processing and we characterize its power. Given an enumeration of paired examples, this system inducti...

Analogical Reasoning and Semantic Rules of Inference

The nature of Aristotle’s topics has been a crucial issue in the Middle Ages (Abaelardi Dialectica, 254) and in the modern and contemporary studies on natural inferences (De Pater 1965; Stump 1982; 1988; Kienpointnter 1986). One of the crucial debates concerned their function, i.e. whether they were instruments for fi nding arguments or rules on which dialectical and rhetorical inferences were ...

Inductive Inference and Nonmonotonic Reasoning

The Problem of Analogical Inference in Inductive Logic

We consider one problem that was largely left open by Rudolf Carnap in his work on inductive logic, the problem of analogical inference. After discussing some previous attempts to solve this problem, we propose a new solution that is based on the ideas of Bruno de Finetti on probabilistic symmetries. We explain how our new inductive logic can be developed within the Carnapian paradigm of induct...
