IT8000 - Advanced Topics in Case-Based Reasoning

About

Lessons are not given in the academic year 2015/2016

Course content

This course has changed its name from "Case-based and model-based reasoning", to reflect its recent development towards a wider method scope. The course content is otherwise the same as before.

There is an increasing interest in CBR for methods that combine CBR with other reasoning forms. There is also an increased attention to improved methods for similarity assessment, case adaptation, case learning, and case base maintenance. In the course, methods which reason from past conrete situations (case-based) and methods that reason from generalized models (model-based) will be characterized. Integrated reasoning methods that cominbe the two, and address problem solving as well as machine learning targets, will be discussed, and related to developments in the above method areas. The specific set of topics covered will to some extent depend on the interests of the students taking the course.

Learning outcome

A. Knowledge:
To get a deeper understanding of how case-specific knowledge can be modelled, learned, and utilized in a combined manner.

B. Skills:
To be able to apply the learned theories and principles for building real world CBR systems for targeted application areas.

C. General Competence:
To get an understanding of how methods within CBR relates to - and can be combined with - other methods, both within in AI and computer science more generally.
