Reasoning with Textual Cases

چکیده
Abstract. This paper presents methods that support automatically finding abstract indexing concepts in textual cases and demonstrates how these cases can be used in an interpretive CBR system to carry out case-based argumentation and prediction from text cases. We implemented and evaluated these methods in SMILE+IBP, which predicts the outcome of legal cases given a textual summary. Our approach uses classification-based methods for assigning indices. In our experiments, we compare different methods for representing text cases, and also consider multiple learning algorithms. The evaluation shows that a text representation that combines some background knowledge and NLP combined with a nearest neighbor algorithm leads to the best performance for our TCBR task.

Textual case-based reasoning
This commentary provides a definition of textual case-based reasoning (TCBR) and surveys research contributions according to four research questions. We also describe how TCBR can be distinguished from text mining and information retrieval. We conclude with potential directions for TCBR research. 1 What is textual case-based reasoning? Case-based reasoning (CBR) consists of comparing a new prob...
متن کاملProgress in Textual Case-Based Reasoning: Predicting the Outcome of Legal Cases from Text
This paper reports on a project that explored reasoning with textual cases in the context of legal reasoning. The work is anchored in both Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) and AI and Law. It introduces the SMILE+IBP framework that generates a case-based analysis and prediction of the outcome of a legal case given a brief textual summary of the case facts. The focal research question in this work was ...
متن کاملCbr Textuality
Current textual CBR research focuses on generating knowledge-rich representations for working with document-cases. However, there are many \weakly-textual" contexts in which textual information plays an important , but ancillary role in case composition and reasoning. For retrieving weakly-textual \semi-structured" cases that contain one or more textual features, it is desirable to measure the ...
متن کاملCase-based Reasoning for Diagnosis of Stress using Enhanced Cosine and Fuzzy Similarity
Intelligent analysis of heterogeneous data and information sources for efficient decision support presents an interesting yet challenging task in clinical environments. This is particularly the case in stress medicine where digital patient records are becoming popular which contain not only lengthy time series measurements but also unstructured textual documents expressed in form of natural lan...
متن کاملDeveloping Mapping and Evaluation Techniques for Textual Case-Based Reasoning
Textual Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is not simply Information Retrieval (IR) of text documents which happen also to be cases. Nor does it involve only techniques for automatically determining what cases represented as texts are about or techniques for automatically indexing such cases under relevant features. Textual CBR is still case-based reasoning, and for us, that means drawing inferences ab...
متن کاملLARC: Learning to Assign Knowledge Roles to Textual Cases
In this paper, we present a learning framework for the semantic annotation of text documents that can be used as textual cases in case-based reasoning applications. The annotations are known as knowledge roles and are task-dependent. The framework relies on deep natural language processing techniques and does not require the existence of any domain-dependent resources. Several experiments are p...
