Abstract

Analogies are common part of human life; our ability to handle them is critical in problem solving, humor, metaphors and argumentation. This paper introduces a method to solve string-based (symbolic) analogies based on hybrid inferential process integrating Structural Information Theory—a framework used to predict phenomena of perceptual organization—with some metric-based processing. Results are discussed against two empirical experiments, one of which conducted along this work, together with the development of a Python version of the SIT encoding algorithm PISA.
