A similarity-based theory of CBR-II A similarity-based Theory of Case-based Reasoning-II
This work is the second part of a general similarity-based theory of case-based reasoning (CBR), which moves CBR towards a firm theoretical foundation based on similarity-based reasoning. This paper will first examine abductive CBR and deductive CBR and propose a knowledge-based model for integrating abductive CBR and deductive CBR. It then proposes similarity-based models for rule-based and fu...
متن کاملUtility in Case-Based Decision Theory
This paper provides two axiomatic derivations of a case-based decision rule. Each axiomatization shows that, if preference orders over available acts in various contexts satisfy certain consistency requirements, then these orders can be numerically represented by maximization of a similarity-weighted utility function. In each axiomatization, both the similarity function and the utility function...
متن کاملSimilarity-based Decision Models∗
This paper introduces similarity-based models of decision making for decision situations in which data on the attributes of options are not available. We propose that an actor, to evaluate a given option, can rely on the utility similar actors derive from this option, or on the utility she derived from similar options. We propose two models to assess the similarity of actors and options. We ana...
متن کاملCase-Based Decision Theory and Knowledge Representation
When we address the question of how should we represent knowledge, we should first ask ourselves what is there to know. It seems unarguable that "knowledge representation" should only deal with the representation of that which can be known. In this note we take the somewhat extreme view that one can never k n o w a rule. At least since Hume (1748), it has been recognized that the process of ind...
متن کاملDominance-Based Decision Theory
Decision theory has been plagued with a variety of problems almost from the start. Some, like the Ellsberg paradox [Ellsberg, 1961] merely seem to point to the problems actual people have in calculating probabilities and utilities. Others, like the Newcomb paradox and its relatives, have motivated a re-foundation of decision theory on causal grounds rather than evidential grounds [Joyce, 1999]....
