“…Our work too focuses on developing content-based theories of analogical problem solving. The IDeAL system [3,4], for example, used structure-behaviorfunction (SBF) models for supporting analogical remindings, mappings, and transfer in the context of conceptual design. The ToRQUE system [13,14] used SBF models for analogical remindings, transfer, and evaluation in the context of scientific problem solving.…”

“…There is ample evidence from cognitive science that, in humans, analogy plays an important role in finding solutions to novel problems, and that many of the most creative analogies involve cross-domain transfer [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], requiring finding similarity between semantically different ideas. But how can a program recognize similarity across domains and use it to arrive at a solution?…”

Visual and spatial representations seem to play a significant role in analogy. In this paper, we describe a specific role of visual representations: two situations that appear dissimilar non-visuospatially may appear similar when rerepresented visuospatially. We present a computational theory of analogy in which visuospatial re-representation enables analogical transfer in cases where there are ontological mismatches in the non-visuospatial representation. Realizing this theory in a computational model with specific data structures and algorithms first requires a computational model of visuospatial analogy, i.e., a model of analogy that only uses visuospatial knowledge. We have developed a computer program, called Galatea, which implements a core part of this model: it transfers problem-solving procedures between analogs that contain only visual and spatial knowledge. In this paper, we describe both how Galatea accomplishes analogical transfer using only visuospatial knowledge, and how it might be extended to support visuospatial re-representation of situations represented non-visually.

“…For example, abstract levels can be added for indexing cases, and if the system is allowed to locate solutions of abstract cases, the problem of interpreting abstract solutions by representing them within the domain must be overcome. In both of these works, the abstraction mentioned is a generalization of several domains, involving abstracted teleological design patterns in the case of [7] and planning in the case of [5]. This is a far cry from an abstract level with relation to all domains as is the case in TRIZ.…”

A few years after TRIZ appearance in highly industrialized countries, many experts in Case Based Reasoning pointed out potential similarities between both approaches. Later on, research activities have been conducted and publications appeared on this subject. This paper presents the results of an in depth study of the roots of both approaches, from the point of view of their philosophy and the scope of their relevant action. After several tests and investigations, we arrived to the point that each approach weakens the other if any of the two let the other govern its conduction. The paper discusses this claim and provides some potential directions for new research in this area.

“…SBF is a programming language used in the context of teleological modelling of complex systems and more generally in the field of artificial intelligence (Bhatta & Goel, 1997;Goel et al, 1996Goel et al, , 2009Prabhakar & Goel, 1998). According to Goel et al (2009), Simon (1969, 1996 considered a system as having an inner and an outer environment from which the system functions.…”
