Inter-diagrammatic Reasoning

چکیده
Endowing a computer with an ability to reason with diagrams could be of great benefit in terms of both human-computer interaction and computational efficiency through explicit representation. To date, research in diagrammatic reasoning has dealt with intra-diagrammatic reasoning (reasoning with a single diagram) almost to the exclusion of inter-diagrammatic reasoning (reasoning with related groups of diagrams). We postulate a number of general inter-diagrammatic operators and show how such operators can be useful in various diagrammatic domains. We develop a heuristic in the domain of game notation, derive fingering information in the domain of musical notation, and infer new information from related cartograms.

atic Reasoning and Cases
We believe that many problem domains that lend themselves to a case-based reasoning solution can benefit from an diagrammatic implementation and propose a diagrammatic case-based solution to what we term the n-queens best solution problem where the best solution is defined as that which solves the probfem moving the fewest queens. A working system, based on a novel combination of diagrammatic a...
متن کاملDiagrammatic Reasoning and Color
The theory of inter-diagrammatic reasoning is extended to include the use of color values in diagrams. The syntax of this more general theory, its subsumphon of the original theory, and the ramifications of this extension are presented. An example application of this extension in the domain of DNA sequence assembly is described.
متن کاملRelating Two Image-Based Diagrammatic Reasoning Architectures
To advance the understanding of different diagrammatic reasoning architectures that reason directly with images, we examine the relationship between Anderson's Inter-Diagrammatic Reasoning (IDR) architecture and Furnas' BITPICT architecture using the technique of cross-implementation. Implementing substantial functionality of each in the other, and noting what is easy and what is difficult, yie...
متن کاملOperationalizing Diagrammaticity
In this contribution we present a model for a component of a diagrammatic reasoning system. For reasons of identifying elementary components for diagrammatic reasoning processes we introduce the notions of the elementary diagrammatic inference step (EDIS) and the elementary diagrammatic simulation step (EDSS) as the basic processes for diagrammatic reasoning. The EDIS comprises several descript...
متن کاملDiagrammatic Representation and Reasoning: Some Distinctions
When I co-edited the book, "Diagrammatic Reasoning," [5] I often puzzled over the fact that rather different sorts of things were dubbed diagrammatic reasoning by different authors. I then spent sometime trying to categorize the different types of use of diagrams and the different tasks that they served. This short article is the result of that study. The distinctions I make here apply not simp...
