Wen<p>A visual metaphor for our times. Just imagine who the hippo and the bird might represent - and remember the hippo can always just sink and the bird is relying on an ability to get away and out of the wash in time.</p><p>Photo by Ann Aveyard</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Visual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Visual</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Metaphor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Metaphor</span></a></p>

Will Tuladhar-Douglas<p>The massive glacial flow in Blatten is a good metaphor, I guess. </p><p>"We had been aware of cracks, of pressure; we knew it was serious enough to prepare, but no one expected *this*. Yet in retrospect we should have. Huh."</p><p>And someone has to find a new shelter someplace "safer", and look after the kids, and make food on a temporary stove, and deal with paperwork.</p><p>And in a superdiverse alpine landscape, a thousand ledges and outcrops and gullies with gentians and mosses and evanescent bulbs...are gone.</p><p>But the company that conveniently sold and delivered that stove, and the company that makes diesel diggers rooting through the rubble, and the company that sold cloud computing services to the geological survey department, and the tourist airlines worried about a drop in revenue, and the insurance brokers...they adjust their business practices to deal with any temporary effect on future economic growth and then just market all the harder.</p><p>"In retrospect we should have.

Antonio Lieto<p>📚 Publication News from CIIT Lab @ IJCAI 2025 Ijcai: <br>Last week, the paper “The Delta of Though: Channeling Rivers of Commonsense Knowledge in the Sea of Metaphorical Interpretations” by Antonio Lieto, Gian Luca Pozzato and Stefano Zoia has been accepted at the prestigious International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2025) that will be held in Montreal next August (16-22). </p><p>📝 Title: The Delta of Though: Channeling Rivers of Commonsense Knowledge in the Sea of Metaphorical Interpretations</p><p>🔍 Abstract:<br>We propose a system called METCL (Metaphor Elaboration in Typicality-Based Compositional Logic) able to generate and identify metaphors by using the TCL reasoning framework, specialized in human-like commonsense concept combination. We show thatMETCL is able to improve both state of-the-art Large Language Models (e.g DeepSeek-R1, GPT-4o, Qwen2.5-Max) and symbolic ones in the task of metaphor identification. Additionally,<br>we show how the metaphors generated by METCL are generally well accepted by human subjects.<br>The obtained results are encouraging and pave the way to research in automatic metaphor generation and comprehension based on the assumption that metaphors interpretation can be partially regarded as a categorization problem relying on generative commonsense concept combination.</p><p> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/commonsensereasoning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>commonsensereasoning</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/conceptcombination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>conceptcombination</span></a>, <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/metaphor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>metaphor</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/cogsci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cogsci</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/computationalcreativity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>computationalcreativity</span></a> </p><p>Link to the paper: <a href="https://lnkd.in/dqVpz74E" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">lnkd.in/dqVpz74E</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/cognition" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>cognition</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/academicchatter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>academicchatter</span></a></span></p>

Muro deGrizeco<p>I was sitting in a tech start-up cafeteria. Free food, as long as I never leave, as long as I burn myself up.</p><p>Dish of the day was pho soup. Cut of meat was unfortunately real gristly. Eating too fast, sitting alone, I got a piece of meat stuck half way down, choked, couldn&#39;t breath.</p><p>Reached into the back of my mouth, gagging, pulled the meat out of my throat, threw it on the tray, gasped, recovered, survived.</p><p>That&#39;s also what quitting Facebook felt like.</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/metaphor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>metaphor</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/facebook" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>facebook</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/socialmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>socialmedia</span></a></p>

I was lost, floating in a calm ocean, no land in sight. A dolphin - one of my spirit animals - came to save me.</p><p>It floated underneath, nudging me onto my stomach, pointing me to the right, hovering its fin beneath my hands. I wrapped my hands around the fin - slippery, hard to hold.</p><p>That is all. It felt like I was eventually rescued. I woke up, told myself: "Remember this, it's important."
