Visual Re-Representation in Creative Analogies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visual representations seem to play a significant role in many creative analogies. In this paper, we describe a specific role of visual representations: two situations that appear dissimilar non-visually may appear similar when re-represented visually. We present a computational theory of multi-modal analogy in which visual re-representation enables analogical transfer in cases where there are ontological mismatches in the non-visual representation. We have developed a computer program, called Galatea, that implements a core part of our theory: it transfers problem-solving procedures between analogs containing only visual knowledge. In this paper, we describe both how Galatea accomplishes the transfer task using only visual knowledge and how it might be extended to support visual re-representation in multi-modal analogies.

A Creative Analogy Machine: Results and Challenges
Are we any closer to creating an autonomous model of analogical reasoning that can generate new and creative analogical comparisons? A three-phase model of analogical reasoning is presented that encompasses the phases of retrieval, mapping and inference validation. The model of the retrieval phase maximizes its creativity by focusing on domain topology, combating the semantic locality suffered ...
متن کاملProposal: Performing Invention with Analogies to \Far-Flung" Concepts
This project proposal addresses the issue of retrieving and using analogies to guide a creative design process. There is evidence that human designers use analogies to produce novel creative designs. These analogies are unique in that they often associate concepts that are not normally thought of as connected. That is, the concepts do not share many super cial or even structural features, while...
متن کاملDynamic Use of Multiple Analogies in the AMBR Model Causing Re- Representation of the Target
This paper describes how the AMBR model explains multiple analogies and more specifically how the use of a superficially similar analogical base, that turns out to be inappropriate (we call it a bridge analogy), may actually lead to the rerepresentation of the target and the activation of a more appropriate remote analogical source. A simulation is described that demonstrates this capability of...

متن کاملShape Based Reminding as an aid toCreative Design
This paper describes "Drawing Analogies," a shape based reminding program that uses freehand sketches to index and retrieve visual references for creative designing. Architects often employ reference images from books, magazines, and other visual collections to find forms they can adopt and adapt into their designs. We give examples of how designers use drawing and analogies and describe our ap...
