• 1 and Lloyd, B., 1978 The papers in this book derive from a 1976 meeting sponsored by the Social Science Research Council to discuss the nature and principles of category formation.
• 2 Part I contains 3 discussions of real-world categories, assuming that the people creating and using the systems can judge similarities between stimuli, perceive and process the attributes of a stimulus, and learn.
• 3 Part II contains discussions of these 3 abilities, presenting a new theoretical approach to similarity, in which objects are viewed as collections of features, and similarity as a feature-matching process.

This research advances how AI systems learn, reason, and solve problems — with direct implications for automation and scientific discovery.
