                 LEARNING BY UNDERSTANDING ANALOGIES

This presentation describes a method for learning by analogy -- i.e.,
for proposing new conjectures about a target analogue based on facts
known about a source analogue.  After formally defining this process,
we present heuristics which efficiently guide it to the conjectures
which can help solve a given problem.  These rules are based on the
view that a useful anlogy is one which provides the information needed
to solve the problem, and no more.  Experimental data confirms the
effectiveness of this approach.
