the form of two different types of cases: plan cases and contextual cases.

case selection and treatment plan are important aspects of endodontic treatment. dentists should organize the treatment plan based on their knowledge, abilities, skills and more importantly the patients’ preference and dentition. indubitably, the treatment plan for each patient is exclusive and “tailor-made” and cannot be used for all patients. dentists’ self-estimation of their abilities opens...

The overwhelming amount of data that is available nowadays in any field of research poses new problems for machine learning methods. This huge amount of data makes most of the existing algorithms inapplicable to many real-world problems. Two approaches have been used to deal with this problem: scaling up machine learning algorithms and data reduction. Nevertheless, scaling up a certain algorith...

We propose a Case-Based Reasoning approach for action selection in the robot soccer domain presented in the 8th European Conference on Case-Based Reasoning (2006). Based on the current state of a game, the robots retrieve the most similar past situation and then the team reproduces the sequence of actions performed in that occasion. In this domain we have to deal with all the difficulties that ...

Supplier selection problem is a multi-criteria decision making problem which includes both qualitative and quantitative factors. In the selection process many criteria may conflict with each other, therefore decision-making process becomes complicated. In this paper, we propose a compensatory fuzzy approach to solve multi-objective linear supplier selection problemwith multiple-item (MLSSP-MI) ...

This paper presents extensions and improvements of previous work, where we defined a CBR system for action selection in the robot soccer domain. We show empirical results obtained with real robots, comparing our team playing approach with an individualist approach.

We show that if any number of variables are allowed to be simultaneously and independently randomized in any one experiment, log2(N) + 1 experiments are sufficient and in the worst case necessary to determine the causal relations among N ≥ 2 variables when no latent variables, no sample selection bias and no feedback cycles are present. For all K, 0 < K < 1 2N we provide an upper bound on the n...
