Using symbolic descriptions to explain similarity on CBR
نویسندگان
چکیده
The explanation of the results is a key point of automatic problem solvers. CBR systems solve a new problem by assessing its similarity with already solved cases and they commonly show the user the set of cases that have been assessed as the most similar to the new problem. Using the notion of symbolic similarity, our proposal is to show the user a symbolic description that makes explicit what the new problem has in common with the retrieved cases. In particular, we use the notion of anti-unification to build this symbolic description.

متن کاملSymbolic Explanation of Similarities in Case-based Reasoning
CBR systems solve problems by assessing their similarity with already solved problems (cases). Explanation of a CBR system prediction usually consists of showing the user the set of cases that are most similar to the current problem. Examining those retrieved cases the user can then assess whether the prediction is sensible. Using the notion of symbolic similarity, our proposal is to show the u...
متن کاملRepresentation and Similarity Evaluation of Symbolic Time Series Data in Uncertain Environments
Coping with time series cases is becoming an important issue in employing case based reasoning (CBR) in many industrial and medical applications. This paper studies the representation and similarity matching of symbolic time series data that are generated from an uncertain (nondeterministic) process over time. We propose a method to convert such (lengthy) time series into a concise form to capt...
متن کاملExplanation Support for the Case-Based Reasoning Tool myCBR
Case-Based Reasoning, in short, is the process of solving new problems based on solutions of similar past problems, much like humans solve many problems. myCBR, an extension of the ontology editor Protégé, provides such similaritybased retrieval functionality. Moreover, the user is supported in modelling appropriate similarity measures by forward and backward explanations. Case-Based Reasoning ...
متن کاملFacilitating CBR for Incompletely-Described Cases: Distance Metrics for Partial Problem Descriptions
A fundamental problem for case-based reasoning systems is how to select relevant prior cases. Numerous strategies have been developed for determining the similarity of prior cases, given full descriptions of the problem at hand, and situation assessment methods have been developed for formulating appropriate initial case descriptions. However, in real-world applications, attempting to determine...
