Improving Case Retrieval by Remembering Questions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this research is to develop technology for interactive case retrieval systems that improve their performance, after they have been deployed, by remembering previous questions. Depending on the origin of the case-base, one can expect a variable vocabulary and structure to the cases, leading to difficulties in determining exactly how the system should use the cases. By remembering questions, structure and uniformity can be built into the case-base, leading to improved system performance. In this paper, we describe a retrieval system that takes advantage of a question history. Experimental results are presented which confirm that this technique improves precision and recall of the system.

Elaborated spaced-retrieval and prospective memory in mild Alzheimer's disease.
Prospective memory, or the timely remembering of a planned action, is conceptualised as a cognitive process demanding episodic memory and executive attention. Impairments in these skills are characteristic of the cognitive decline in early Alzheimer's disease, providing an expectation of prominent prospective memory difficulties in this population, and yet surprisingly, memory performance in ea...
متن کاملTowards an understanding of parietal mnemonic processes: some conceptual guideposts
The posterior parietal lobes have been implicated in a range of episodic memory retrieval tasks, but the nature of parietal contributions to remembering remains unclear. In an attempt to identify fruitful avenues of further research, several heuristic questions about parietal mnemonic activations are considered in light of recent empirical findings: Do such parietal activations reflect memory p...
متن کاملEvidence for separate perceptual reactivation and search processes during remembering.
Remembering involves the coordinated recruitment of strategic search processes and processes involved in reconstructing the content of the past experience. In the present study we used a cueing paradigm based on event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging to separate activity in the initial preparation phases of retrieval from later phases during which retrieval search ensued, and detai...
متن کاملThe ghosts of brain states past: remembering reactivates the brain regions engaged during encoding.
There is growing evidence that the brain regions involved in encoding an episode are partially reactivated when that episode is later remembered. That is, the process of remembering an episode involves literally returning to the brain state that was present during that episode. This article reviews studies of episodic and associative memory that provide support for the assertion that encoding r...
متن کاملThe Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory and Consciousness
In this chapter, we delineate the neural activity associated with conscious memories characterized by different degrees of ‘retrieval content’ (i.e. sensory/contextual detail). Based primarily on neuroimaging evidence, we identify the neural regions that are associated most consistently with the following conscious memory processes: retrieval success versus retrieval attempt, remembering versus...
