I'm writing this summary now to get the information on Evan's ANALOGY program.

ANALOGY does traditional intelligence test analogy problems, limited to the image domain. e.g. A:B::C:?[25]

It does this by describing how to turn A into B, then how C turns into all the choices. It matches the A to B transformation semantic net to the nets of the choices. The best match is determines ANALOGY's choice for the answer.

The system has an ontology of relations between objects in a figure:

Transformations describe how one figure could be changed into the next: It's important to note, though, that relations can change, though a change in a relation is not considered a transformation. Geometric objects include, but are not limited to: [26] The book took this information from:

Evans, T. G. (1968). A heuristic program to solve geometric analogy problems. In Semantic Information Processing edited by Minsky, M. MIT Press, Cambridge, MA.
