However, designing large case libraries that have good performance (i.e.\ precision and querying efficiency) is difficult. CBR vendors provide guidelines for designing these libraries manually, but the guidelines are difficult to apply. We describe an automated inductive approach that revises conversational case libraries to increase their conformance with design guidelines. Revision increased performance on three conversational case libraries.
