A Comparison of Incremental Case-Based Reasoning and Inductive Learning

چکیده
This paper focuses on problems where the reuse of old solutions seems appropriate but the conventional CBR methodology is not adequate because a complete description of the new problem is not available to trigger case retrieval. We describe an information theoretic technique that solves this problem by producing focused questions to fill out the case description. This use of information theoretic techniques in CBR raises the question of whether a standard inductive learning approach would not solve this problem adequately. The main contribution of this paper is an evaluation of how this incremental case-based reasoning compares with a pure inductive learning approach to the same task.

INRECA: A Seamlessly Integrated System Based on Inductive Inference and Case-Based Reasoning
This paper focuses on integrating inductive inference and case-based reasoning. We study integration along two dimensions: Integration of case-based methods with methods based on general domain knowledge, and integration of problem solving and incremental learning from experience. In the INRECA system, we perform case-based reasoning as well as TDIDT (TopDown Induction of Decision Trees) classi...
متن کاملAn Incremental Learning Model for Commonsense Reasoning
A self-organizing incremental learning model that attempts to combine inductive learning with prior knowledge and default reasoning is described. The inductive learning scheme accounts for useful generalizations and dynamic priority allocation, and effectively supplements prior knowledge. New rules may be created and existing rules modified, thus allowing the system to evolve over time. By comb...
متن کاملImproving Agent Performance for Multi-Resource Negotiation Using Learning Automata and Case-Based Reasoning
In electronic commerce markets, agents often should acquire multiple resources to fulfil a high-level task. In order to attain such resources they need to compete with each other. In multi-agent environments, in which competition is involved, negotiation would be an interaction between agents in order to reach an agreement on resource allocation and to be coordinated with each other. In recent ...
متن کاملILA: Combining Inductive Learning with Prior Knowledge and Reasoning
Much effort has been devoted to understanding learning and reasoning in artificial intelligence. However, very few models attempt to integrate these two complementary processes. Rather, there is a vast body of research in machine learning, often focusing on inductive learning from examples, quite isolated from the work on reasoning in artificial intelligence. Though these two processes may be d...
متن کاملInductive Learning and Case-Based Reasoning
This paper describes an application of an inductive learning techniques to case-based reasoning. We introduce two main forms of induction, define case-based reasoning and present a combination of both. The evaluation of the proposed system, called TA3, is carried out on a classification task, namely character recognition. We show how inductive knowledge improves knowledge representation and in ...
