| Overview: | Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) paradigm, in which new problems are solved by reusing the solutions to previously encountered problems. It offers both a cognitive model of human problem solving and a concrete methodology for building knowledge-based systems. CBR is based on the premise that expertise is experiential in nature. What separates an expert from a novice is the breadth of his or her experience. Each problem solving experience a person (or system) has represents a case, or example, which may be useful again in the future. This course will enable students familiar with other AI problem solving approaches to explore CBR in depth. Featured will be: an overview of fundamentals; discussion of research projects; CBR system implementation; and student presentations. |
