Cre8Blend - Analogies, Metaphors and Blends between raw text
Information and resources from the Cre8Blend project..
The Cre8Blend project represents a port of the "Dr Invetor" project to an integrated Python platform. It makes us of several other Python systems, most notably the Stanford parser and NetworkX. This project hope to generate meaningful Analogies (Metaphors and Conceptual Blends) between texts and comparable lexical data. .
Tumor Problem:
Suppose you are a doctor faced with a patient who has a malignant tumor in his stomach. It is impossible to operate on the patient, but unless the tumor is destroyed the patient will die. There is a kind of ray that can be used to destroy the tumor. If the rays reach the tumor all at once at a sufficiently high intensity, the tumor will be destroyed. Unfortunately, at this intensity the healthy tissue that the rays pass through on the way to the tumor will also be destroyed. At lower intensities the rays are harmless to healthy tissue, but they will not affect the tumor either. What type of procedure might be used to destroy the tumor with the rays, and at the same time avoid destroying the healthy tissue?
Dispersion Attack:
A fortress was located in the center of the country. Many roads radiated out from the fortress. A general wanted to capture the fortress with his army. The general wanted to prevent mines on the roads from destroying his army and neighboring villages. As a result the entire army could not attack the fortress along one road. However, the entire army was needed to capture the fortress. So an attack by one small group would not succeed. The general therefore divided his army into several small groups. He positioned the small groups at the heads of different roads. The small groups simultaneously converged on the fortress. In this way the army captured the fortress.

We depict a collection of these triples as a Force Directed Graph (FDG). An interative FDG can be found at the bottom of this page - most browsers supports it (eg FireFox and Edge). You can move nodes so read and explore each graph.
