{"pk":32829,"title":"Towards a Content Model of Strategic Explanation","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Over the past few years there has been a growing interest in the notion of using causal explanations in both learning ([Dejong and Mooney, 1986] [Mitchell et a/., 1986]) and planning ([Hammond, 1989], [Hammond, 1987] and [Simmonsand Davis, 1987]). The study of how complex causal explanations can be used in learning has turned into something of a cottage industry in AI; however, little attention has paid to how explanations may be constructed. In this paper, we will examine some of the current proposals concerning the process of explanation, augment them with a few ideas of our own, and suggest a new, more strategic level of knowledge about explanations that can be used to guide the explanation process. In particular, we are interested in the problems involved with integrating rule-based methods of explanation construction with memory-based approaches.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Paper Presentations -- Case Representation and Adoptation","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3gn9666v","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Kristian","middle_name":"J.","last_name":"Hammond","name_suffix":"","institution":"The University of Chicago","department":""},{"first_name":"Colleen","middle_name":"M.","last_name":"Seifert","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Michigan","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1991-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32829/galley/23889/download/"}]}
