On the Consistency Management of Large Case Bases: The Case for Validation
K. Racine, and Q. Yang. Proceedings of the AAAI-96 Workshop on Knowledge Base Validation, American Association for Artificial Intelligence, (1996)
Abstract
Case-based reasoning (CBR) is a practical, relatively new
technology. CBR is based on the idea that new problems can often
be solved by using past solutions. The basic method to implement
CBR is to build a case base of previously solved problems. These
cases are then retrieved and adapted to solve new problems. Using
this CBR process, a case-based system can learn incrementally
and improve its performance over time. \\ However, a pervasive,
yet relatively ignored, problem inherent in using this approach
is the possible presence of inconsistencies within and among
cases. These can be in the form of contradictions within the case
base, possibly causing a degradation of performance efficiency,
the retrieval of two conflicting solutions or no retrieval at
all. Past research has only dealt with the problem superficially.
\\ In this paper, we present an analysis of inconsistency
problems arising from contradiction in a potentially large case
base. We classify these problems according to their nature, and
suggest validation solutions to deal with them effectively.
