Abstract

Process-Oriented Case-Based Reasoning (PO-CBR) systems often use structured cases, which in turn require effective structure-based retrieval methods, especially when dealing with large processes and/or large case bases. Good retrieval performance can be facilitated by two-phased retrieval methods which first winnow candidate cases with a comparatively inexpensive retrieval phase, and then apply a more expensive strategy to rank the selected cases. Examples of such processes have been shown to provide good retrieval results in limited retrieval time. However, studies of such methods have focused primarily on overall performance, rather than on how the individual contributions of each phase interact to affect overall performance. This misses an opportunity to tune the component algorithms in light of the system task and case base characteristics, for specific task needs. This chapter examines two-phased retrieval as a means of addressing the complexity in many PO-CBR domains, and specifically examines the performance of each phase of two-phased retrieval individually, demonstrating characteristics of the phases’ interaction and providing general lessons for how to design and deploy two-phased retrieval systems.
