Definition
CBR operates on the principle that similar problems have similar solutions. The process involves retrieving the most similar historical case from a knowledge base, adapting its solution to fit the current context, and retaining the new experience for future use. This paradigm is particularly useful in domains where explicit rules are difficult to define, such as legal reasoning, medical diagnosis, and customer service automation, leveraging experiential knowledge rather than purely symbolic logic.
Summary
Case-based reasoning (CBR) is an AI problem-solving approach that utilizes past experiences or similar cases to find solutions for new problems.
