Enhanced Case-Based Reasoning trough Use of Argumentation and Numerical Taxonomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cases as used in case-based reasoning (CBR) typically record experts' steps of reasoning and action, but not the arguments an expert may consider during the problemsolving. Knowledge that can improve the quality of performance of CBR is therefore lost. The paper describes an approach that tackles this problem by representing arguments in a simple form and treating them, along with the traditional information contained in cases, as case properties. These properties are processed according to methods of numerical taxonomy when similarities between cases are being computed. The cases themselves are structured according to a model (CommonKADS) familiar in knowledge engineering but seldom applied to CBR and argumentation.

A Taxonomy for Argumentative Frameworks based on Labelled Deduction
Artificial Intelligence has long dealt with the issue of finding a suitable formalization for reasoning with incomplete and potentially inconsistent information. Defeasible argumentation [SL92,CML00,PraVre99] has proven to be a successful approach in many respects, since it naturally resembles many aspects of commonsense reasoning (see [CML00,PraVre99] for details). Besides, recent work [PraVre...
متن کاملArgumentation and decision making ?
This paper summarises our position on the use of symbolic methods for reasoning under uncertainty, and argumentation in particular. Our view is that argumentation ooers a complement to numerical methods for reasoning about belief, and a general framework within which many competing approaches can be understood. In applications we have found that argumentation ooers a variety of beneets for prac...
متن کاملDetermination of settlement trough width and optimization of soil behavior parameters based on the design of experiment method (DOE)
The expansion of the settlement trough is an important factor in the risk assessment of the tunneling induced settlement. The increase of settlement trough requires buildings to be included in the impact zone, which causes damages. This paper conducts estimation of the settlement trough width (STW) using empirical approaches, field measurement data and numerical solutions. The credibility of th...
متن کاملCase-based Reasoning for Experience-based Collaborative Risk Management
In a collaborative risk management scenario, project stakeholders often need natural forms of recording and reusing past risk management experiences so that they could better assess whether there are threats to the goals of new projects. The contribution of this paper is to propose an enhanced case-based reasoning (CBR) approach to support project participants to exploit such experiences which ...
متن کاملNumerical Taxonomy: A Missing Link for Case-Based Reasoning and Autonomous Agents
Numerical taxonomy, which uses numerical methods to classify and relate items whose properties are non-numerical, is suggested as both an advantageous tool to support case-based reasoning and a means for agents to exploit knowledge that is best expressed in cases. The basic features of numerical taxonomy are explained, and discussed in application to a problem where human agents with differing ...
