Case-based reasoning systems are systems that store information about situations in their memory. As new problems arise, similar situations are searched out to help solve these problems. Problems are understood and inferences are made by finding the closest cases in memory, comparing and contrasting the problem with those cases, making inferences based on those comparisons, and asking questions when inferences can't be made. This book presents the state of the art in case-based reasoning. The author synthesizes and analyzes a broad range of approaches, with special emphasis on applying case-based reasoning to complex real-world problem-solving tasks such as medical diagnosis, design, conflict resolution, and planning. The author's approach combines cognitive science and engineering, and is based on analysis of both expert and common-sense tasks. Guidelines for building case-based expert systems are provided, such as how to represent knowledge in cases, how to index cases for accessibility, how to implement retrieval processes for efficiency, and how to adapt old solutions to fit new situations.  This book is an excellent text for courses and tutorials on case-based reasoning. It is also a useful resource for computer professionals and cognitive scientists interested in learning more about this fast-growing field.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49566262264081,"sku":"GOR002930510","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49651216908561,"sku":"GOR012890797","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1558602372.jpg?v=1750925989"},{"product_id":"project-based-inquiry-science-diving-into-science-pbis-launcher-unit-book-et-al-janet-kolodner-9781585919147","title":"Project Based Inquiry Science: Diving Into Science Pbis Launcher Unit","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50112524189969,"sku":"CIN1585919144G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1585919144.jpg?v=1751375139"},{"product_id":"projectbased-inquiry-science-ever-changing-earth-its-about-time-book-janet-l-kolodner-9781585916184","title":"Projectbased Inquiry Science Ever Changing Earth Its About Time","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50132758036753,"sku":"CIN1585916188G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50298544783633,"sku":"CIN1585916188VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1585916188.jpg?v=1751150256"},{"product_id":"energy-project-based-inquiry-science-book-janet-kolodner-9781585916269","title":"Energy: Project Based Inquiry Science","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50393383960849,"sku":"CIN1585916269G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1585916269.jpg?v=1750762133"},{"product_id":"projectbased-inquiry-sciencetm-genetics-book-janet-l-kolodner-9781607206040","title":"ProjectBased Inquiry ScienceTM Genetics","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50764660572433,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50764662276369,"sku":"CIN1607206048VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1607206048.jpg?v=1751310072"},{"product_id":"case-based-learning-book-janet-l-kolodner-9780792393436","title":"Case-Based Learning","description":"Case-based reasoning means reasoning based on remembering  previous experiences. A reasoner using old experiences (cases) might  use those cases to suggest solutions to problems, to point out  potential problems with a solution being computed, to interpret a new  situation and make predictions about what might happen, or to create  arguments justifying some conclusion. A case-based reasoner solves new  problems by remembering old situations and adapting their solutions.  It interprets new situations by remembering old similar situations and  comparing and contrasting the new one to old ones to see where it fits  best. Case-based reasoning combines reasoning with learning. It spans  the whole reasoning cycle. A situation is experienced. Old situations  are used to understand it. Old situations are used to solve a problem  (if there is one to be solved). Then the new situation is inserted  into memory alongside the cases it used for reasoning, to be used  another time.   The key to this reasoning method, then, is remembering. Remembering  has two parts: integrating cases or experiences into memory when they  happen and recalling them in appropriate situations later on. The  case-based reasoning community calls this related set of issues the  indexing problem. In broad terms, it means finding in  memory the experience closest to a new situation. In narrower terms,  it can be described as a two-part problem:   assigning indexes or labels to experiences when they are put  into memory that describe the situations to which they are applicable,  so that they can be recalled later; and   at recall time,  elaborating the new situation in enough detail so that the indexes it  would have if it were in the memory are identified.
