{"pk":31294,"title":"Multicases: A Case-Based Representation for Procedural Knowledge","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This paper focuses on the representation of procedures in a case-based reasoner. It proposes a new method, the multicase, where several examples are merged without generalization into a single structure. The first part of the paper describes multicases as they are being implemented within the FLOABN project (Alterman, Zito- Wolf, and Carpenter 1991) and discusses some properties of multicases, including simplicity of use, ease of transfer between episodes, and better management of case detail. The second part presents a quantitative analysis of storage, indexing and decision costs based on a decision-tree model of procedures. This model shows that multicases have significantly reduced storage and decision costs compared to two other representation schemes.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Talks","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7903258f","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Roland","middle_name":"J.","last_name":"Zito-Wolf","name_suffix":"","institution":"Brandeis University","department":""},{"first_name":"Richard","middle_name":"","last_name":"Alterman","name_suffix":"","institution":"Brandeis University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1992-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31294/galley/22363/download/"}]}
