Abstract

When Case Based Reasoning systems are applied to real-world problems, the retrieved solutions in general require adaptations in order to be useful in new contexts. Therefore, case adaptation is a desirable capability of Case Based Reasoning systems. However, case adaptation is still a challenge for this research area. In general, the acquisition of knowledge for adaptation is more complex than the acquisition of cases. This paper explores the use of a hybrid committee of Machine Learning techniques for automatic case adaptation.
