Modeling the 'Redescription' Process in the Context of Proportional Analogies

很长一段时间以来，人们都知道隐喻和 类比可以重新描述一个对象，从而创造新的 然而，这一现象还没有被 在认知科学和人工智能研究中得到了适当的解决。 以前的工作已经确定和表征了这一过程， 重新描述是隐喻的创造性实例的基础， 类比。 这项工作将实现一个计算模型， 在比例类比域中重新描述。 在这 在框架中，对象被视为对象的一个元素。 生成的代数，并且“对象的描述被定义为 可以是任何可能的方式， 通过应用适当的操作符来创建其他对象。 通常， 对象可以以多种方式生成，因此具有许多 描述。 在设计模型时，问题是， 找到有效的算法和算法， 对象的描述，以便类比关系是 可以理解。

It has been known for quite some time that metaphors and analogies can redescribe an object, thereby creating new perspectives on it. However, this phenomenon has not yet been properly addressed in cognitive science and AI research. Previous work has identified and characterized this process of redescription that underlies creative instances of metaphor and analogy. This work will implement a computational model of resdescription in the proportional analogy domain. In this framework, an object is seen as an element of a finitely generated algebra, and a "description of the object is defined to be any possible way in which that object can be generated from other objects by applying appropriate operators. Typically, an object can be generated in many ways and, consequently, has many descriptions. In designing the model, the problem then, is to find efficient algorithms and heuristics which select appropriate descriptions of the objects so that the analogy relation is comprehensible.
