Analogical Reasoning is a core mechanism of human intelligence and is the foundation of the AI technologies we develop. We have recently applied analogical processes for logical reasoning with in complete knowledge, goal recognition, and question answering in a multimodal kiosk.

The multimodal information kiosk uses analogical question answering to help faculty, students, and visitors of the Northwestern Computer Science department.

The Hint Engine is a domain-independent architecture for generating hints based on detecting when and how much need for assistance the user has. It integrates information about task progress, eye gaze, and affect to determine when a person needs assistance.
