Abstract

Semantic nets have been used in artificial intelligence for a long time in various ways, e.g. for reasoning. Some types of semantic nets use a method known as activation spreading for finding subnets that are semantically related to some initially activated nodes. If in addition certain subnets can be identified as cases, this can be considered a special form of case retrieval.
