    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→A normative theory offering principles for evaluating analogical arguments is still needed, even if computational models successfully model analogy construction.

    If explicit normative principles cannot close the justificatory gap in analogical reasoning, computational models capturing tacit expert judgment may provide stronger evaluative guidance than formal theory.

    Key Terms

    Computational models(as used in computer science)
    Theoretical frameworks that describe how computers process information and solve problems, used to understand what's possible to calculate.
    analogical reasoning(Philosophy of inductive reasoning)
    A form of inference that has been analyzed as generalization from a single case, as a sampling argument, or as a distinctive argument form supported by past successes
    formal theory(Constraint on the extensions of T in the transfinite sequence)
    A theory whose set of axioms is enumerable by a recursive (computable) function
    justificatory gap(as used in epistemology (the study of knowledge))
    A problem where you can't fully explain or prove why something is true—there's a missing piece of reasoning.

    (as used in ethics and philosophy)
    Rules or standards that tell us what we *should* do or what is right, as opposed to just describing what people actually do.
    tacit expert judgment(as used in epistemology and philosophy of knowledge)
    Knowledge or skill that experts have learned through experience but can't easily put into words—like how a master chef knows when food tastes right.
