Interpreting Design Drawings by Analogy (2009)

Patrick W. Yaner, Ashok K. Goel

Visual analogical mapping and transfer can be used to derive a structural model of a drawing by analogy, and, moreover, the problem of analogical mapping can be guided by using functional knowledge....

In Proceedings of the 29th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci-07), 2007 Visual Analogies at Multiple Levels of Abstraction (2008)

Patrick W. Yaner, Ashok K. Goel

We describe a method for constructing a teleological model of an unlabelled 2D line drawing by analogy to a known model of a drawing with similar structure. The source case is represented as a schema...

Proteus: Visual Analogy in Problem Solving Abstract (2008)

Jim Davies, Ashok K. Goel, Patrick W. Yaner

This work examines the hypothesis that visual knowledge alone is sufficient for analogical transfer of problem-solving procedures. It develops a computational theory of visual analogy in problem...

Understanding drawings by compositional analogy (2007)

Patrick W. Yaner, Ashok K. Goel

We describe an analogical method for constructing a structural model from an unlabelled 2D line drawing. The source case is represented as a schema that contains its 2D line drawing, the lines and...

From form to function: From SBF to DSSBF (2006)

Patrick W Yaner, K Goel

Abstract. We describe a method of analogical reasoning for the task of constructing a Structure Behavior Function (SBF) model of a physical system from its drawing. A DSSBF (Drawing Shape Structure...

From diagrams to models by analogical transfer (2006)

Patrick W. Yaner, Ashok K. Goel

Abstract. We present a method for constructing a teleological model of a drawing of a physical device through analogical transfer of the teleological model of the same device in an almost identical...

Multimodal Analogies in Modelling and Design (2005)

Yaner, Patrick W.

Drawings, on the one hand, and teleological models, on the other, are two ways of understanding and communicating design information. Drawing on previous work, Structure-Behavior-Function (SBF)...

Visual analogy: Viewing analogical retrieval and mapping as constraint satisfaction problems. accepted for publication (2005)

Patrick W. Yaner, Ashok K. Goel

The core issue of analogical reasoning is the transfer of relational knowledge from a source case to a target problem. Visual analogical reasoning pertains to problems containing only visual...

Using Spatial Structure in the Associative Retrieval of 2-D Line Drawings (2002)

Yaner, Patrick W., Goel, Ashok Kumar

We consider the problem of associative image retrieval, focusing on retrieval of 2-D line drawings by example. We represent 2-D line drawings as semantic networks of spatial elements and relations...
