Large Language Models provide support for the parallelogram theory of analogy

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2603. 19066v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Four-term word analogies (A:B::C:D) are classically modeled geometrically as parallelograms: adding the vector B-A+C produces D.

On the Diversity of Analogy Making in Large Language Models

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable potential for analogy making, a core cognitive capability that drives novelty and creativity. While prior research has extensively investigated the applications and underlying mechanisms of LLM-based analogy making, its output diversity remains largely unexplored, despite being essential for broadening cross-domain connections and fostering scientific innovation.

Metaphors are a Source of Cross-Domain Misalignment of Large Reasoning Models

arXiv:2601. 03388v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Earlier research has shown that metaphors influence human decision-making, raising the question of whether metaphors also influence large language models (LLMs)' reasoning pathways, given that their training data contain a large number of metaphors.

PRISM: A Category-Theoretic Framework for Measuring and Refining Multimodal Analogies

PRISM is a modality‑agnostic, category‑theoretic framework that measures and refines multimodal analogies by representing them as explicit relational mappings. It introduces a pullback score to quantify relational alignment and an iterative refinement loop that uses this score as feedback to improve generated images. On the AnaloBench benchmark, PRISM’s pullback score alone achieves 82.5% accuracy, and human evaluations show a 57.65% preference for refined outputs, though refinement may sometimes favor visually crowded compositions.
