Consider e.g. “a Fish Vehicle”, i.e., “a Vehicle which is also a Fish”. Still, people use sophisticated strategies to produce new, non-empty concepts. All these strategies involve the human ability to mend the conflicting attributes of the input concepts and to create new properties of the combination. We focus in particular on the case where a Head concept has superior ‘asymmetric’ control over steering the resulting combination (or hybridisation) with a Modifier concept. Specifically, we propose a dialogical model of the cognitive and logical mechanics of this asymmetric form of hybridisation. Its implementation is then evaluated using a combination of example ontologies.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2022/745","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/745","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/0745.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/745.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/bibtex/745","volume":{"slug":"2022","title":"Proceedings of the Thirty-First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2022","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2022/","year":2022,"location":"Vienna","dates":"23-29 July 2022","editors":"Luc De Raedt","isbn":"978-1-956792-00-3","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2022"},"section":"Sister Conferences Best Papers","track":"Sister Conferences Best Papers","number":745,"pages":{"first":5329,"last":5333},"keywords":["Artificial Intelligence: General"],"videos":[{"label":"Video #1","url":"https://slideslive.com/38987265","length_sec":71,"provider":"slideslive"},{"label":"Video #2","url":"https://slideslive.com/38985408","length_sec":606,"provider":"slideslive"}],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Baader et al., 2017] Franz Baader, Ian Horrocks, Carsten Lutz, and Uli Sattler.
