Abstract
Analogy plays an important role in creativity, and is extensively used in science as well as art. In this pa- per we introduce a technique for the automated gener- ation of cross-domain analogies based on a novel evo- lutionary algorithm (EA). Unlike existing work in com- putational analogy-making restricted to creating analo- gies between two given cases, our approach, for a given case, is capable of creating an analogy along with the novel analogous case itself. Our algorithm is based on the concept of “memes”, which are units of culture, or knowledge, undergoing variation and selection un- der a fitness measure, and represents evolving pieces of knowledge as semantic networks. Using a fitness function based on Gentner’s structure mapping theory of analogies, we demonstrate the feasibility of sponta- neously generating semantic networks that are analo- gous to a given base network.
