Explanation Goals in Case-Based Reasoning

چکیده
In this paper, we present a short overview of different theories of explanation. We argue that the goals of the user should be taken into account when deciding what is a good explanation for a given CBR system. Some general types relevant to many Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) systems are identified and we use these goals to identify some limitations in using the case as an explanation in CBR systems.

Many abductive understanding systems generate explanations by a backwards chaining process that is neutral both to the explainer's previous experience in similar situations and to why the explainer is attempting to explain. This article examines the relationship of such models to an approach that uses case-based reasoning to generate explanations. In this case-based model, the generation of abd...

We describe in detail the integration of several existing approaches with our ideas to develop a methodolog...
متن کاملKnowing What to Explain and When
We have argued elsewhere that user goals should be taken into account when deciding what kind of explanation of its results a CBR system should give. In this paper, we propose the use of an Activity Theory based methodology for identifying different user goals and expectations towards explanations given by a system supporting a work process.

متن کاملGoals and Kinds of Explanations in Case-Based Reasoning
Research on explanation in Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is a topic that gains momentum. In this context, fundamental issues on what are and to which end do we use explanations have to be reconsidered. This article presents a prelimenary outline of the combination of two recently proposed classifications of explanations based on the type of the explanation itself and user goals which should be ful...
