An investigation into establishing a generalised approach for defining similarity metrics between 3D shapes for case-based reasoning (CBR)
… 3D shapes for the casting design problem in Case-Based Reasoning (CBR). This research investigates a new approach for improving the quality of casting design advice achieved from a CBR system using casting design knowledge associated with past cases. The new approach uses enhanced similarity …

A critical literature review of case-based reasoning and its educational applications
… review documents the shifts and variations in Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) terminology and reasoning models that have arisen in the past twenty years. Different versions of CBR theory, differences in terminology across these versions, and shifts in terminology within individual programs of theory …

A Comparison of Case-Based Reasoning and Probabilistic Graphical Models in the Context of Learning from Observation
… Probabilistic Graphical Models (PGM) and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) with the goal of identifying a preferred approach for future improvement. We show that the Naive Bayes Classifier is better than a previously used PGM model in learning behavior in a vacuum cleaner domain and introduce a …

Role of failure in the construction of case libraries
… and indoctrinate individuals is to employ case-based reasoning (CBR) in education. Instructional designers can support this form of learning by providing case libraries that embed domain-specific principles in the form of stories. The cases not only serve to portray experiences of …

Similarity and explanation for dynamic telecommunication engineer support.
… different examples is a crucial aspect of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) systems, but learning representations optimised for similarity comparisons can be difficult. CBR systems typically rely on separate algorithms to learn representations for cases and to compare those representations, as …

Source Code Retrieval using Case Based Reasoning
… system that is part of the Arís (Analogical Reasoning for reuse of Implementation & Specification) project. The overall methodology of the Arís project is very similar to Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) and its parent discipline of Analogical Reasoning (AR), centered on the activities of solution …

Computational creativity applications in engineering
… Machine designs. We first describe the use of case-based reasoning (CBR) and an existing knowledge base to yield a combinatorial design space for experiments. We then apply automated planning techniques to generate experiment procedures. We further use functional modeling to represent the …

A Case-Based Reasoner for Evaluating Crop Rotations in Whole-Farm Planning
I have worked on a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) system that evaluates crop rotations for their soil erosion and risk of insect pest problems. The purpose of this system is to provide decision support for an automated whole-farm planner (CROPS). CROPS (Buick et al., 1992) generates crop rotation plans …

An investigation into automation of fire field modelling techniques
… in this thesis has produced a prototype system based on fire field modelling techniques for use by members of the Fire Safety Engineering community who are not expert in modelling techniques. The system captures the qualitative reasoning of an experienced modeller in the assessment of room …

An investigation of the feasibility of a CBR approach to the design of sand castings in the foundry industry
… sand castings in the foundry industry by a case-based reasoning (CBR) approach. The research answers four basic questions. These have been organised into a primary question and three subsidiary questions. The primary question asks: Is it possible to automate the retrieval processes that a …

Statistical Experimental Design Framework for Cognitive Radio
… (GA) and experiential methods, such as case-based reasoning (CBR). A weakness in the GA is its reliance on limited mathematical models for estimating bit error rate, packet error rate, throughput, and signal-to-noise ratio. The CBR approach is similarly limited by its dependency on past …

Intelligent monitoring of business processes using case-based reasoning
… effective monitoring of business processes using Case-Based Reasoning (CBR). The rationale behind this research was that business processes constitute a fundamental concept of the modern world and there is a constantly emerging need for their efficient control. They can be efficiently represented …

Situation awareness approach to context-aware case-based decision support.
Context-aware case-based decision support systems (CACBDSS) use the context of users as one of the features for similarity assessment to provide solutions to problems. The combination of a context-aware case-based reasoning (CBR) with general domain knowledge has been shown to improve similarity …
