Special Issue on "new Advances in Similarity-Based Systems and Applications"

Similarity-based systems are considered to be of central interest for artificial intelligence and cognitive sciences research. Similarity-based systems describe analogies in human reasoning. The basic idea behind similarity-based systems is that reasoning concerned with either comparing different situations or analyzing new situations depends on the similarity between one or more past situations. The main theoretical research approaches on similarity-based systems are founded on mathematical concepts, basically on distance or metrics studies and topologies.
