| Abstract: | This paper presents a logical foundation of metaphoric search problem of looking for objects that can explain a given goal just like its typical instance, based on a concept graph representation. To determine what is similar to the instance under the presence of goal, we first form an abstract concept graph obtained by abstracting an explanation of the goal from the instance. Then, an object similar to the typical instance is required not only to satisfy the goal but also to be another instance of the abstract concept graph. Furthermore, we observe that generalization is also needed to obtain a non-trivial or useful abstraction and similarity based on it. So, we present an experimental system performing both abstraction and generalization to find a meaningful similarity from the viewpoint of goal. |
