Abstract

This paper discusses the importance of the post-retrieval steps of CBR, that is, the steps that occur after relevant cases have been retrieved. Explanations and arguments, for instance, require much to be done post-retrieval. I also discuss both the importance of explanation to CBR and the use of CBR to generate explanations.
