Case-Based Reasoning, Analogy, and Interpolation

International audienceThis chapter presents several types of reasoning based on analogy and similarity. Case-based reasoning, presented in Section 2, consists in searching a case (where a case represents a problem-solving episode) similar to the problem to be solved and to adapt it to solve this problem. Section 3 is devoted to analogical reasoning and to recent developments based on analogical proportion. Interpolative reasoning, presented in Section 4 in the formal setting of fuzzy set representations, is another form of similarity-based reasoning
