Abstract:
We study complex case representations in Case-Based Reasoning. It is designed as a step towards multimedia CBR. To some degree this is a survey paper. For this we present a unified approach to solving the problems connected with representations mentioned in the title in a way that has not been considered so far. The most popular form to represent cases is attribute-based representations. However, in practical applications, case problems and solutions are in the first place given in other ways, e.g. by using texts, images, sensor data or speech data. In order to overcome this we introduce a general level structure to allow bridging the gap between bit-oriented low level and the attribute-oriented high level that is accessible to humans as well as CBR systems. The approach is put in the form of a process model.
