- FORMALIZATIONS IN CASE-BASED REASONING

- Abstract:
-
- Case-based reasoning has recently attracted considerable attention.
- Researchers as well as practitioners in artificial intelligence hope to
- exploit case-based reasoning to widen the bottleneck of knowledge
- acquisition and to make inference systems more similar to human
- behaviour.
-
- We propose a formalization of case-based reasoning. Our approach is
- directly derived from some recently published case-based learning
- algorithms. The formalization allows an immediate comparison of
- case-based learning and inductive inference. Some of the results point
- to the crucial questions in case-based reasoning. In particular, the
- importance of flexible similarity measures is exhibited. Learning
- similarity measures turns out to be the crucial point for achieving
- maximal power of case-based learning algorithms. Desirable properties
- like the ability to forget information are clearly related to other
- concepts.
