  Human cognition does not revolve around categorization, rather it's based on just-in-time conceptual blending. Douglas Hofstadter identified this as analogy-making. https://t.co/emxWfXLXsRLink to Tweet

  Reading this extremely insightful book is a great antidote to the overly simplistic notions of concept learning that currently prevail in ML: https://t.co/bKZt1gQXljLink to Tweet

  @miguelalonsojr @MelMitchell1 @lexfridman Read 'Surfaces and Essences' if you want the excruciating detail of analogies. It's a very long book that gets very repetitive. But if you want the gist, head to the last chapter that compares it with 'category making'.Link to Tweet

  @GaryMarcus @fchollet Perhaps you need to read Hofstadter's latest book https://t.co/RFWuhfyItg . Should tell you what you need to know of what's missing in today's AI. Not symbols... but analogies.Link to Tweet
