Abstract

With the rapid development of case-based reasoning (CBR) techniques, CBR has been widely applied to real-world applications such as agent-based systems for ship collision avoidance. A successful CBR-based system relies on a high-quality case base. Automated case creation technique is highly demanded. In this paper, we propose an automated case learning method for CBR-based agent systems. Building on techniques from CBR and natural language processing, we developed a method for learning cases from maritime affair records. After reviewing the developed agent-based systems for ship collision avoidance, we present the proposed framework and the experiments conducted in case generation. The experimental results show the usefulness and applicability of case learning approach for generating cases from the historic maritime affair records.
