AB Case-based reasoning (CBR) is the problem-solving paradigm where past
experiences are used to guide problem-solving. In CBR, cases similar to
the current problem are retrieved from the case memory, the best match
is selected from those retrieved and adapted to fit the current problem.
In AIDS Initial Assessment (AIA), AIDS Intervention and Prevention (AIP)
specialists often screen AIDS-risky behaviors by relating the current
subject to the previous screening cases. This paper describes a
prototype CBR system for AIA. The advantages of the system are: (i) the
CBR approach better matches the thought processes in which AIP
specialists administering AIA screening; AIDS-risky behavior can now be
screened by retrieving case(s) stored in the case memory; (ii)
successfully adapted cases are stored so they can be retrieved and
reused in the future; (iii) cases can be used to train AIP
professionals. When an entry-level AIA specialist joins an AIP program,
an important part of his/her training involves going through those
previous cases in the case memory. In summary, AIA has proved to be an
attractive subject for CBR systems.
