商品描述

A unified treatment of different types of reasoning with concepts, such as category-based induction, nonmonotonic reasoning, analogies, and generics.

Psychologists and philosophers have worked on topics such as category-based induction, nonmonotonic reasoning, analogies, and generics, but these problems have largely been investigated independently. In Reasoning with Concepts, Peter Gärdenfors and Matías Osta-Vélez bring them all together by presenting models built on the theory of conceptual spaces. This theory offers a rich framework for modeling many aspects of the structure of concepts. In particular, it allows the definition of measures for similarity, typicality, diagnosticity, and coherence of concepts, notions long employed informally by psychologists and philosophers.

While probabilistic models exist for some of these notions, no comprehensive formal framework has previously encompassed them all. The proposed measures here, based on distances in conceptual space and prototypes, generate novel testable predictions while unifying previously disparate theoretical territories. Furthermore, the models can be implemented in artificial systems that deal with different forms of reasoning.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

對於不同類型的推理進行統一處理，涉及的概念包括基於類別的歸納、非單調推理、類比和一般性。

心理學家和哲學家曾研究過基於類別的歸納、非單調推理、類比和一般性等主題，但這些問題大多是獨立調查的。在概念推理一書中，彼得·加登福斯（Peter Gärdenfors）和馬蒂亞斯·奧斯塔-維萊斯（Matías Osta-Vélez）將這些主題整合在一起，提出基於概念空間理論的模型。這一理論為建模概念結構的許多方面提供了豐富的框架。特別是，它允許定義概念的相似性、典型性、診斷性和一致性的度量，這些概念長期以來被心理學家和哲學家非正式地使用。

雖然對於其中一些概念已經存在概率模型，但之前並沒有一個全面的正式框架將它們全部納入。這裡提出的度量基於概念空間中的距離和原型，生成新的可測試預測，同時統一了先前不同的理論領域。此外，這些模型可以在處理不同形式推理的人工系統中實現。
