Metaphor and common-sense reasoning

چکیده
>Inferenccs based on metaphors appear to play a major role in human common sense reasoning. This paper identifies and analyzes general inference patterns based upon ur Jerlying metaphors, in particular the pervasive balance principle. Strategies for metapnor comprehension are explored, and analogical mapping structures are proposed as a means of representing metaphorical relationships between domains. In addition, a framewo~rk for a computational model embodying principles of metaphorical common sense reasoning is dsusd*k 1This research was spor-ored in part by the Office of Nava!

Implementing a Society of Functions in AKIRA
AKIRA is an open-source framework for cognitive and sociocognitive modeling and simulations, that couples the strength of solid design and implementation with the flexibility of an “open” platform, allowing to design and implement a number of different agent architectures and to test them in common scenarios. Here we describe the main components of the framework, that follows the Pandemonium me...

KEYWORDS: metaphor-understanding algorithms metaphor of mind reasoning about agents' mental states personiication metaphor uncertain reasoning ABSTRACT: An implemented reasoning called ATT-Meta is sketched. It performs a type of metaphor-based reasoning. Although it relies on built-in knowledge of speciic metaphors, where a metaphor is a conceptual view of ones topic as another, it is very exib...
متن کاملAn Implemented Context System that Combines Belief Reasoning, Metaphor-Based Reasoning and Uncertainty Handling
An implemented context-based reasoning system called ATT-Meta is sketched. The system can perform both reasoning about beliefs of agents and metaphor-based reasoning. In particular, it can perform metaphor-based reasoning about beliefs and reasoning acts. The metaphor-based reasoning and belief reasoning facilities are fully integrated into a general framework for uncertain reasoning. This fram...
