Solving Everyday Physical Reasoning Problems by Analogy Using Sketches
نویسندگان
چکیده
Understanding common sense reasoning about the physical world is one of the goals of qualitative reasoning research. This paper describes how we combine qualitative mechanics and analogy to solve everyday physical reasoning problems posed as sketches. The problems are drawn from the Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test, which is used to evaluate technician candidates. We discuss sketch annotations, which define conceptual quantities in terms of visual measurements, how modeling decisions are made by analogy, and how analogy can be used to frame comparative analysis problems. Experimental results support the plausibility of this approach.

متن کاملUsing analogical model formulation with sketches to solve Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test problems
One of the central problems of artificial intelligence is capturing the breadth and flexibility of human common sense reasoning. One way to evaluate common sense is to use versions of human tests that rely on everyday reasoning. The Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test consists of everyday reasoning problems posed via pictures and is used to evaluate technicians. This test is challenging becau...
متن کاملEfficient Learning of Qualitative Descriptions for Sketch Recognition
We are trying to solve the problem of learning to recognize objects in an open-domain sketching environment. Our system builds generalizations of objects based upon previous sketches of those objects and uses those generalizations to classify new sketches. We represent sketches qualitatively because we believe qualitative information provides a level of description that abstracts away details t...
متن کاملAnalogical Model Formulation for AP Physics Problems
One of the least studied problems in qualitative reasoning is computing structural descriptions, i.e., how to move from the unruly, broad set of concepts used in everyday life to a concise, formal vocabulary of abstractions that can be used effectively for problem solving. This paper describes how learning by analogy can be used to solve this problem in the domain of AP physics problems. The sy...
