Topics in Case-Based Reasoning

This volume gathers 36 full refereed papers chosen from the talks given at the First European Workshop on Case-Based Reasoning, which met at Kaiserslautern, Germany, in November 1993. The contributions show a research area that was drawing steady attention from artificial intelligence specialists at the time.

Case-based reasoning, usually shortened to CBR, solves new problems by drawing on earlier cases and the solutions that worked for them. The papers connect this idea with knowledge acquisition, problem solving, machine learning, analogical reasoning, cognitive modelling, similarity measures and information retrieval, so a reader can follow how these strands meet inside one collection.

The book suits postgraduate students, academic researchers and engineers who build reasoning systems and want a dated but focused record of European work in the field from the early nineteen-nineties.
