Feature Weight Maintenance in Case Bases Using Introspective Learning

摘要

A key issue in case-based reasoning is how to maintain the domain knowledge in the face of a changing environment. During the case retrieval process in case-based reasoning, feature-value pairs are used to compute the ranking scores of the cases in a case base, and different feature-value pairs may have different importance measures, represented as weight values, in this computation. How to maintain a set of appropriate feature weights so that they can be used to solve future problems effectively and efficiently will be a key factor in determining the success of case-based reasoning applications.
