From numerical proportions to analogical proportions between probabilities

This academic paper extends analogical proportion theory from numerical and vector-based representations to probabilistic settings, investigating whether probability distributions associated with analogically proportional profiles maintain proportional relationships. The research bridges formal logic with statistical inference, potentially enabling more sophisticated classification methods that operate on probabilistic data.

Emergent Analogical Reasoning in Transformers

Researchers demonstrate that Transformers develop analogical reasoning—the ability to transfer relational patterns across different domains—through two key mechanisms: geometric alignment of structures in embedding space and functor application. This mechanistic understanding bridges cognitive science and neural network architecture, with findings validated across both synthetic tasks and pretrained large language models.

When Models Know More Than They Say: Probing Analogical Reasoning in LLMs

Researchers found that large language models (LLMs) have an asymmetry between their internal knowledge and prompted responses when detecting analogies. While probing reveals models understand rhetorical analogies better than their prompted responses suggest, both methods perform poorly on narrative analogies requiring deeper abstraction.

Types of Relations: Defining Analogies with Category Theory

Researchers propose using category theory to formalize knowledge domains and construct analogies between different fields. The paper demonstrates this approach using the classic analogy between the solar system and hydrogen atom, showing how mathematical structures like functors and pullbacks can define analogical relationships.
