The background of this paper is the area of case-based reasoning. This is a reasoning technique where one tries to use the solution of some problem which has been solved earlier in order to obtain a solution of a given problem. As example of types of problems where this kind of reasoning occurs very often is the diagnosis of diseases or faults in technical systems. In abstract terms this reduce...

We describe using Case Based Reasoning to explore structure at the instance level as a means to distinguish whether to use CP or IP to solve instances of the Bid Evaluation Problem.

In this paper, a novel method for diagnosing lymphatic tissue tumors is presented. Microscopic specimen images are analyzed for extracting and characterizing malignant cells. A case-based reasoning approach is followed for classifying morphologic and densitometric cell features so as to provide a final diagnosis.

This paper is a thesis proposal and describes the idea of an integrated, explanation-aware maintenance approach for distributed case-based reasoning systems. We describe the related work and the foundations our own research will base on and the derived research goals for the dissertation. We describe in detail the integration of several existing approaches with our ideas to develop a methodolog...

本稿では,事例に基づく推論 (Case-Based Reasoning: CBR)の立場を取って,長期的な創造的問題 解決とデザイン活動に影響する記憶の問題について調査する.これは,詳細に記録された例・Alexander Graham Bellによる電話の発明に基づき,長期の創造的デザインにおいて繰り返し現れた,Bellのメカニ ズムの推論と理解について要約する.事例に基づくデザインに対し,メカニズムを理解することは,デザ インの制約と類推的評価の類推的予想の元であるとみなされる.しかし,既に理解されたデザインは,背 後ではアクティブであり,ある機会に保留されたデザインの問題を満たす.新しいメカニズムは,計算機 モデル ALEC で統合される.これは,事例に基づくデザインにおいて,ある創造的な振る舞いを説明す る. 1.
