Adaptation as a Selection Constraint On Analogical Mapping
Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-12)In any given analogy, there are potentially a large number of possible mapping interpretations. One of the key issues in analogy research is how one of these mappings comes to be selected as optimal and used as the basis ... -
Analogical Asides on Case-Based Reasoning
Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1994-09)This paper explores some of the similarities and differences between cognitive models of analogy and case-based reasoning systems. I first point out a paradox in the treatment of adaptation in analogy and in case-based ... -
The Cognitive Processes Underlying Complex Analogies: Theoretical and Empirical Advances
Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-10)The psychological investigation of complex analogies (like the solar system / atom analogy) began in the late 1970s and in the intervening period has grown into a prototypical, area of Cognitive Science research. During ... -
Conceptual Scoffolding: A Spatially-founded Meaning Representation for Metaphor Comprehension
Veale, Tony; Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1992-04)Once viewed as a rhetorical and superficial language phenomenon, metaphor is now recognized to serve a fundamental role in our conceptual structuring and language comprehension processes. In particular, it is argued that ... -
Constraints on Analogical Mapping: A Comparison of Three Models
Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-10)Three theories of analogy have been proposed which are supported by computational models and data from experiments on human analogical abilities. In this paper, we show how these theories can be unified within a common ... -
Design Synthesis: A Model of Hierarchical Case-Based Reasoning
Smyth, Barry; Finn, Donal; Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1993-12)A variety of artificial intelligence techniques have been used in attempts to automate design synthesis tasks. Two common approaches are case-based and decompositional design. While powerful techniques in their own right, ... -
Epistemological Pitfalls in Metaphor Comprehension: A Comparison of Three Models and a New Theory of Metaphor
Veale, Tony; Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-12)[Introduction] If metaphor is to be viewed as a fundamental cognitive agency, as recent work suggests, what ramifications does this view have for a model of semantic memory? This paper presents a computational treatment ... -
Experiments in Adaptation-Guided Retrieval in Case-Based Design
Smyth, Barry; Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1994-12)Case-based reasoning (CBR) has been applied with some success to complex planning and design tasks. In such systems, the best case is retrieved and adapted to solve a particular target problem. In general, the best case ... -
Hierarchical Case-Based Reasoning: Integrating Case-Based and Decompositional Problem-Solving Techniques for Plant-Control Software Design
Smyth, Barry; Cunningham, Padraig; Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1997)Case-based reasoning (CBR) is an AI technique that emphasises the role of past experience during future problem solving. New problems are solved by retrieving and adapting the solutions to similar problems, solutions ... -
On Adaptation in Analogy
Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-12)When people use analogies to solve problems they form an analogical mapping between two domains of knowledge. This mapping may support inferences by analogy that suggest a novel solution to a problem. Several factors ... -
On Order Effects in Analogical Mapping: Predicting Human Error Using IAM
Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-04)The Incremental Analogy Machine (IAM) predicts that the order in which parts of an analogy are processed can affect the ease of analogical mapping. In this paper, the predictions of this model are tested in two ... -
On the Automatic Generation of Case Libraries by Chunking Chess Games
Flinter, Stephen; Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-05)As a research topic computer game playing has contributed problems to AI that manifest exponential growth in the problem space. For the most part, in games such as chess and checkers these problems have been surmounted ... -
Polysemy in Conceptual Combination: Testing the Constraint Theory of Combination
Costello, Fintan; Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-12)Most novel noun-noun combinations are polysemous in that they tend to suggest several possible meanings. A finger cup can be a cup in which fingers are washed, a cup shaped like a finger, a narrow cup and so on. In this ... -
Retrieving Reusable Design Cases: Exploiting Adaptation Knowledge in Design Reuse
Smyth, Barry; Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1994-11)Case-based reasoning has been identified as a potentially fruitful candidate technology with which to investigate the development of automated design systems. Two critical stages in case-based design are design retrieval ... -
Transfer Between Analogies: How Solving One Analogy Problem Helps to Solve Another
Keane, Mark T. (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1995-04)This paper deals with transfer between analogies; with what people acquire from one analogy problem-solving episode that can be re-applied to a subsequent analogy, problem-solving episode. This issue must be resolved if ... -
Where do "Soccer Moms" Come From? : Cognitive Constraints on Noun-Noun Compounding in English
Keane, Mark T.; Costello, Fintan (Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-12)Every year new noun-noun combinations enter the English language and become common parlance; compounds like "notebook computer" and "soccer mom". But, why is one pair of words chosen rather than another pair ? For ...
