Optimality Principles for Conceptual Blending: A First Computational Approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose an implementation of the eight Optimality Principles from the framework of Conceptual Blending, as presented by Fauconnier and Turner (1998). Conceptual Blending explains several cognitive phenomena in the light of the integration of knowledge from different mental spaces onto a single mental space: the Blend. The Optimality Principles express general pressures that compete in the generation of the Blend. The work we present now corresponds to the Constraints module of our computational model of Conceptual Blending, also described in other papers.

Optimality Principles in Computational Approaches to Conceptual Blending: Do We Need Them (at) All?
Optimality principles are a key element in the Conceptual Blending (CB) framework, as they are responsible for guiding the integration process towards ‘good blends’. Despite their relevance, these principles are often overlooked in the design of computational models of CB. In this paper, we analyse the explicit or implicit presence and relevance of the optimality principles in three different c...
متن کاملStyle: A Computational and Conceptual Blending-Based Approach
This chapter proposes a new approach to style, arising from our work on computational media using structural blending, which enriches the conceptual blending of cognitive linguistics with structure building operations in order to encompass syntax and narrative as well as metaphor. We have implemented both conceptual and structural blending, and conducted initial experiments with poetry, includi...

متن کاملTowards Ontological Blending
We propose ontological blending as a new method for ‘creatively’ combining ontologies. In contrast to other combination techniques that aim at integrating or assimilating categories and relations of thematically closely related ontologies, blending aims at ‘creatively’ generating new categories and ontological definitions on the basis of input ontologies whose domains are thematically distinct ...
متن کاملDeliverable 3 . 2 : Study and design of methods for concept blending
Executive summary Task 3.2 is concerned with the development of computational methods for concept blending and their implementation in a Concept Generator prototype. In this deliverable, we present a review of existing computational approaches to conceptual blending used in the development of creative systems. Besides providing an overview of state-of-the-art methods, this study aims (a) to emp...
