Learning from Cases for Classification Problem Solving

  • Conference paper
Information Systems and Data Analysis

Abstract

An overview of case-based learning techniques for classification problem solving from the research areas of expert systems, statistics, and neuronal nets is presented, together with some results from comparative evalutions. We broadly define a problem solver to be able to “learn from cases” if it usually performs better with every new case.
