Lazy Induction Triggered by CBR.
Mario Lenz · 1995
. In recent years, case-based reasoning has been demonstrated to be highly useful for problem solving in complex domains. Also, mixed paradigm approaches emerged for combining CBR and induction techniques aiming at verifying the knowledge and/or building an efficient case memory. However, in complex domains induction over the whole problem space is often not possible or too time consuming. In this paper, an approach is presented which (owing to a close interaction with the CBR part) attempts to induce rules only for a particular context, i.e. for a problem just being solved by a CBR--oriented system. These rules may then be used for indexing purposes or similarity assessment in order to support the CBR process in the future. Keywords: Case-based reasoning, rule induction, lazy induction. 1 Introduction Although case-based reasoning (CBR) has been demonstrated to be highly useful for problem solving in complex domains, there are also shortcuts of this approach. In particular, if case ...
