Case-Based Reasoning(CBR) offers a new approach for developing knowledge based systems. CBR has several research issues which can be divided into two categories : (1) static issues and (2) dynamic issues. The static issues are related to case representation scheme and case data model, that is, focus on casebase which is a repository of cases. The dynamic issues, on the other hand, are related to case retrieval procedure and problem solving process, i.e. case adaptation phase. This research is forcused on retrieval procedure Traditional query processing accepts precisely specified queries and only provides exact answers, thus requiring users to fully understand the problem domain and the casebase schema, but returning limited or even null information if the exact answer is not available. To remedy such a restriction, extending the classical notion of query answering to approximate query answering(AQA) has been explored. AQA can be achieved by neighborhood query answering or associative query answering. In this paper, neighborhood query answering technique is used for AQA. To reinforce the CBR process, a new retrieval procedure(cooperative CBR) using neighborhood query answering is proposed. An neighborhood query answering relaxes a query scope to enlarge the search range, or relaxes an answer scope to include additional information. Computer Aided Process Planning(CAPP) is selected as cooperative CBR application domain for test. CAPP is an essential key for achieving CIM. It is the bridge between CAD and CAM and translates the design information into manufacturing instructions. As a result of the test, it is approved that the problem solving ability of cooperative CBR is improved by relaxation technique.

It is necessary for prediction of recycled aggregate concrete(RAC) strength at the early stage that facilitate concrete form removal and scheduling for construction. However, to predict RAC strength is difficult because of being influenced by complicated many factors. Therefore, this research suggest optimized estimation method that can reflect many factors. One way is Case-Based Reasoning(CBR) that solved new problems by adapting solutions to similar problems solved in the past, which are solved in the case library. Other way is Artificial Neural Networks(ANN) that solved new problems by training using a set of data, which is representative of problem domain. This study is to propose comparing accuracy of the estimating the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete using Case-Based Reasoning(CBR) and Artificial Neural Networks(ANN).

AI(Artificial Intelligence) refers to the area of computer engineering and IT technology that focuses on the methodology and creation of intelligent agents. The Othello game is often produced with AI, since it is played with relatively simple rules on a board and on a limited space of 8 rows and 8 columns. Previous algorithms take longer time than desirable and often fail to face new circumstances, as they search for all the possible cases and rules. In order to solve this crucial weakness, we propose that a CBR algorithm be applied to Orthello. Case-Based Reasoning(CBR), is the process of solving new problems based on the solutions of the past similar problems. We can apply this process to Othello and expedite the process of computer reasoning for a solution to new cases based on the data from accumulated past cases. Then, these new solutions are dynamically added to the set of past cases so that it becomes harder for players(users) to be able to read the pattern. The proposed system in which a CBR algorithm is applied to the Othello game makes the computation process faster and the game harder to play.

A CBR(Case-Based Reasoning) system solves the new problems by adapting the solutions that were used to solve the old problems. Past cases are retained in the case base, each in a specific form that is determined by features. Features are selected for the purpose of representing the case in the best way. Similar cases are retrieved by comparing the feature values and calculating the similarity scores. Therefore, the performance of CBR depends on the selected feature subsets. In this research, we measured the Selection Effect and the Elimination Effect of each feature. The Selection Effect is measured by performing the CBR with only one feature, and the Elimination Effect is measured by performing the CBR without only one feature. Based on these measurements, the feature subsets are selected. The resulting CBR showed better performance in terms of accuracy and efficiency than the CBR with all features.

In this study, we propose a integrated model of logistic regression, artificial neural networks, support vector machines(SVM), with case-based reasoning(CBR). To predict respondents in the direct marketing is the binary classification problem as like bankruptcy prediction, IDS, churn management and so on. To solve the binary problems, we employed logistic regression, artificial neural networks, SVM. and CBR. CBR is a problem-solving technique and shows significant promise for improving the effectiveness of complex and unstructured decision making, and we can obtain excellent results through CBR in this study. Experimental results show that the classification accuracy of integration model using CBR is superior to logistic regression, artificial neural networks and SVM. When we apply the customer response model to predict respondents in the direct marketing, we have to consider from the view point of profit/cost about the misclassification.

In case of traditional Rule-Based Reasoning(RBR) and Case-Based Reasoning(CBR), although knowledge is reasoned either by one of them or by the integration of RBR and CBR, there is a problem that much time should be consumed by numerous rules and cases. In order to improve this time-consuming problem, in this paper, a new type of reasoning technique, which is a kind of integration of reduced RB and CB, is to be introduced. Such a new type of reasoning uses Rough Set, by which we can represent multi-meaning and/or random knowledge easily. In Rough Set, solution is to be obtained by its own complementary rules, using the process of RB and CB into equivalence class by the classification and approximation of Rough Set. and then using reduced RB and CB through the integrated reasoning.

Perhaps one of the most versatile approaches to learning in practical domains lies in case based reasoning. To date, however, most case based reasoning systems have tended to focus on relatively simple domains. The current study involves the development of a decision support system for a complex production process with a limited database. This paper presents a set of critical issues underlying CBR, then explores their consequences for a complex domain. Finally, the performance of the system is examined for resolving various types of quality control problems.

As the effective use of information has gained greater attention over the decade, various conventional AI techniques have been applied to develop expert systems for business applications. Case-based reasoning (CBR) makes data more accessible by organizing it as a set of examples from past experience that can be generalized and applied to current problems. This paper illustrates basic concepts of CBR and addresses the system discussed in this paper can provide a basis for building more flexible and adaptable expert systems for business applications.

This paper proposes a novel data editing techniques with genetic algorithm (GA) in case-based reasoning (CBR) for the prediction of Korea Stock Price Index (KOSPI). CBR has been widely used in various areas because of its convenience and strength in compelax problem solving. Nonetheless, compared to other machine teaming techniques, CBR has been criticized because of its low prediction accuracy. Generally, in order to obtain successful results from CBR, effective retrieval of useful prior cases for the given problem is essential. However. designing a good matching and retrieval mechanism for CBR system is still a controversial research issue. In this paper, the GA optimizes simultaneously feature weights and a selection task for relevant instances for achieving good matching and retrieval in a CBR system. This study applies the proposed model to stock market analysis. Experimental results show that the GA approach is a promising method for data editing in CBR.

Purpose This study proposes a novel system trading model using case-based reasoning (CBR) based on absolute similarity threshold. The proposed model is designed to optimize the absolute similarity threshold, feature selection, and instance selection of CBR by using genetic algorithm (GA). With these mechanisms, it enables us to yield higher returns from stock market trading. Design/Methodology/Approach The proposed CBR model uses the absolute similarity threshold varying from 0 to 1, which serves as a criterion for selecting appropriate neighbors in the nearest neighbor (NN) algorithm. Since it determines the nearest neighbors on an absolute basis, it fails to select the appropriate neighbors from time to time. In system trading, it is interpreted as the signal of 'hold'. That is, the system trading model proposed in this study makes trading decisions such as 'buy' or 'sell' only if the model produces a clear signal for stock market prediction. Also, in order to improve the prediction accuracy and the rate of return, the proposed model adopts optimal feature selection and instance selection, which are known to be very effective in enhancing the performance of CBR. To validate the usefulness of the proposed model, we applied it to the index trading of KOSPI200 from 2009 to 2016. Findings Experimental results showed that the proposed model with optimal feature or instance selection could yield higher returns compared to the benchmark as well as the various comparison models (including logistic regression, multiple discriminant analysis, artificial neural network, support vector machine, and traditional CBR). In particular, the proposed model with optimal instance selection showed the best rate of return among all the models. This implies that the application of CBR with the absolute similarity threshold as well as the optimal instance selection may be effective in system trading from the perspective of returns.
