A Hybrid Analogical Learning System and Its Application in Employment Accidents Domain

Abstract: Analogy is one of the central inference methods in human cognition. Several analogy methods have been developed, they were different in the technique used to establish the analogy, estimate the similarities, and transform the concepts and knowledge from the source situation to the target situation. All of these methods were used separately in different learning approaches. In this paper, we propose a learning system based on hybrid model of analogy, learning is done using different analogy strategies, according to the learning task. Using one model of analogy in a learning system will constrain the learning task, while the possibility of using multi-methods of analogy in one model will contain two main features. First, it will integrate different models of analogy in a hybrid learning system. Second, it will help in selecting and applying the suitable analogy method according to the given learning task and the given knowledge. The developed learning system consists of four main modules: Knowledge Base, User Interface, Retriever and Learning Modules. A set of real cases from the domain of employment accidents is used to demonstrate the learning capability of the system.
