( 1) understand natural language descnpttons of mechanical devices and (2) generate novel device representations through heuristic strategies of mutation and analogy. The representational constructs in EDISON must support both of these tasks and include: goal/plan informatton, _spatial relationship!!, forces, motion, contact1 regions, constrrunts on (al)d principle~ on device operatio~. levels of abstraction, and nruve mectiarucs dependencies and mferences.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/138","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/0138.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/138.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/bibtex/138","volume":{"slug":"1987","title":"Proceedings of the Tenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1987","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1987/","year":1987,"location":"Milan, Italy","dates":"","editors":"John McDermott","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Natural Language","track":"Natural Language","number":138,"pages":{"first":696,"last":698},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
