Development of Universal Abduction Studio (10th report)

Abstract

It is important to unify different knowledge groups, which exist independently, and to extend knowledge gradually in order to obtain creative design solutions that are not obtained only with the existing design knowledge. With the aim of development of ″Universal Abduction Studio″, which is a system supporting creative design, we propose a method for creating hypotheses through interactions between designer and machine. We develop a prototype system and demonstrate that the system can create new ideas.
