- W67504859 abstract "Strategies in Analogous Planning Cases Andrew S. Gordon (asgordon@us.ibm.com) IBM TJ Watson Research Center, 30 Saw Mill River Road Hawthorne, NY 10532 USA Abstract Strategies are abstract patterns of planning behavior that are easily recognized, compared, and used by people in everyday planning situations. In an effort to better understand them as a type of mental knowledge structure, three hundred and seventy-two strategies were identified from ten different planning domains, and each was represented in a preformal manner intended to describe the common characteristics of their instances. In doing this large-scale representation work, two observations were made with significance to current theories of analogical reasoning. First, strategies are portions of the relational structure shared by analogous planning cases. Second, representations of strategies include propositions about the reasoning processes of the agent employing them. We propose that a theoretical understanding of analogical reasoning allows us to use strategies as an investigative lens to view the mental models that people have of others and of themselves. Introduction: Strategy Representations The term strategy periodically appears in cognitive science literature to refer to the abstract patterns that can be recognized in planning behavior. People appear to have a near-effortless ability to use and reason about strategies despite their complexities - as when considering the case of a corporation that underprices part of its product line to bankrupt their competitors, or a case where a parent bird pretends to be wounded to lure a predator away from a place where their nest would be discovered. From the cognitivist’s perspective, strategies can be viewed as knowledge schemas, with the assumption that these schemas are mental representations that can be manipulated, compared, and used in intelligent planning and problem-solving behavior. In order to understand this view more deeply, we undertook a project to systematically analyze and represent strategies on a large scale. We began this project by identifying three hundred and seventy-two strategies from ten diverse domains of planning and problem-solving. Three competitive planning domains were examined: business, warfare, and dictatorship. Three cooperative planning domains were examined: scientific research, education, and personal relationships. Two individual performance domains were included: artistic performance and object counting. Finally, two anthropomorphic domains, where non-people are viewed as planners, were studied: immunology and animal behavior. Strategies for each of these domains were collected using a variety of methods, which included formal interviews with subject-matter experts, introspection, and the analysis of texts such as Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince and Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, which are nearly encyclopedic of strategies in the domains of dictatorship and warfare, respectively. For each of these strategies, we authored a definition in the form of a representation such that all situations that match the definition would be positive examples of the strategy, and all cases that do not match the definition would not be examples of the strategy. Recognizing that the same strategy could be applicable in a wide variety of situations - even those that cross domain boundaries - our efforts focused on strategy representations that were of the highest possible level of abstraction while still meeting these definition requirements. While some descriptive and functional planning languages are beginning to emerge in the artificial intelligence planning community (Tate, 1998; Gil & Blythe, 2000; McDermott, 2000), we chose not to attempt to use them for this representation work, following the belief that these current efforts are not yet expressive enough to describe the subtle planning features found in strategies. Instead, we adopted a style that can be best viewed as preformal, somewhat similar to the strategy representations found in smaller-scale efforts (Collins, 1986; Jones, 1992), and where the content of these representations was loosely drawn from a wide range of content theories of planning, notably from Owens (1990). The motivation for using this preformal style was to enable the scaling-up of representation work by relaxing the syntactic formality of logic while preserving the unambiguity of representational terms. Figure 1 gives three examples of the 372 preformal representations that were authored. Words and phrases in the representations meant to refer to planning concepts and abstractions were capitalized and italicized as they were authored, which allowed us to algorithmically extract them so that they could be analyzed outside of the context of specific" @default.
