Abstract

Case-based reasoning systems solve problems by reusing a corpus of previous problem solving experience stored as a case-base of individual problem solving cases. In this paper we describe a new technique for constructing compact competent case-bases. The technique is novel in its use of an explicit model of case competence. This allows cases to be selected on the basis of their individual competence contributions. An experimental study shows how this technique compares favorably to more traditional strategies across a range of standard data-sets.
