We introduce a novel rule-based approach for handling regression problems. The new methodology carries elements from two frameworks: (i) it provides information about the uncertainty of parameters interest using Bayesian inference, and (ii) allows incorporation expert knowledge through systems. blending those different frameworks can be particularly beneficial various domains (e.g., engineering...

Subjects not only make case-by-case portfolio allocations but also design a investment rule selecting portfolios. They then choose between these two modes additional set of probl...

This paper presents an integrated knowledge-based system, which combines fuzzy rule-based reasoning with case-based reasoning, for turbomachinery diagnosis. By incorporating a casebased reasoning sub-system in a fuzzy rule-based system, the integrated system allows past experience to be applied in a more direct way. This helps improve the diagnostic accuracy of the rulebased system. This approa...
