CBR: Strengths and Weaknesses
نویسنده
چکیده
There is considerable enthusiasm about Case-Based Reasoning as a means of developing knowledge-based systems. There are two broad reasons for this enthusiasm. First, it is evident that much of human expert competence is experience based and it makes sense to adopt a reuse-based methodology for developing knowledge based systems. The other reason is the expectation that using Case-Based Reasoning to develop knowledge based systems will involve less knowledge engineering than alternative ‘first-principles’ based approaches. In this paper I explore the veracity of this assertion and outline the types of situation in which it will be true. CBR is perceived to have this knowledge engineering advantage because it allows the development of knowledge based systems in weak theory domains. If CBR can work without formalising a domain theory then there is a question about the quality of solutions produced by case-based systems. This is the other issue discussed in this paper and situations where CBR will and will not produce good quality solutions are outlined.

Advancements and Trends in Medical Case-Based Reasoning: An Overview of Systems and System Development
Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is a recognised and well established method for building medical systems. In this paper, we identify strengths and weaknesses of CBR in medicine. System properties, divided into construction-oriented and purpose-oriented, are used as the basis for a survey of recent publications and research projects. The survey is used to find current trends in present medical CBR re...

We present a proactive communication approach that allows CBR agents to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of other CBR agents. The communication protocol allows CBR agents to learn from communicating with other CBR agents in such a way that each agent is able to retain certain cases provided by other agents that are able to improve their individual performance (without need to disclose all the...
