An analogy generating system (100) includes one or more image databases (104) that include a first set of images depicting a first symbolic class (120) and a second set of images depicting a second symbolic class (120) and an autoencoder (110) that receive (200) images from the first set of images and the second set of images; determines a first characteristic shared between the first symbolic class (120) and the second symbolic class (120) using a first node from multiple nodes on a neural network; determine a second characteristic shared between the first symbolic class and the second symbolic class using a second node from multiple nodes on the neural network; and exchange (204) the first characteristic and the second characteristic between the first node and the second node to establish (206) an analogy (124) between the first symbolic class and the second symbolic class.
