Abstract

In this book we discuss two major techniques for knowledge processing or reasoning with knowledge. In the previous chapter we dealt with the first one, rule-based reasoning (which is the basis of expert systems). In this chapter we discuss the second technique, case-based reasoning. The idea underlying case-based reasoning is that, when solving a new problem, a person remembers a previous, similar problem situation and reuses information and knowledge from that prior problem to solve the current one. Case-based reasoning systems are computer programs that follow this principle and consist of a “case base” of earlier cases and mechanisms for storing, retrieving, adapting, and learning from cases.
