SMTB: Fast Structure-Mapping with Tight Bounds

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 22, 2026 · UTC

Structure-mapping forms analogies by aligning systems of relationally connected elements based on shared structure instead of surface features. We introduce a new structure-mapping algorithm: Structure-Mapping with Tight Bounds (SMTB) that is 5--15x faster than the structure-mapping engine (SME) and about 50\% better at finding mappings in large nested domains. SMTB is part of the broader Cognitive Rule Engine (CRE) project, a flexible multi-language-compatible framework with an accessible Python interface to state-of-the-art C++ implementations of core algorithms commonly used in cognitive sy
