Case-Based Reasoning

Abstract

Chapter 14 has two parts. The first part of this chapter is addressed to readers who deal with complex objects and need advanced retrieval algorithms. First, we consider two advanced retrieval methods: Case Retrieval Nets and Fish and Shrink. Both require a special case representation form. In the case of retrieval nets, the queries and the cases are incrementally completed. Fish and Shrink deals with very complex situations that have different aspects and complex views. The two-step retrieval methods are complemented with the PROTOS approach. In terms of aggregation of values for retrieval, the fuzzy retrieval is not limited to additivity axioms. The second part of the chapter deals with principal and advanced retrieval problems. A basic question is how the search space can be reduced. There are several methods presented to improve retrieval by reducing the case base. Diversity deals with the problem of there being too many nearest neighbours, and we showed how to reduce this number. This chapter requires knowledge from Chap. 5, Case Representations, Chap. 8, Retrieval, and Chaps. 6 and 7 on similarity.
