Original abstract

Case-based reasoning (CBR) is a recent approach to problem solving. CBR system solves a new problem by adapting known solutions of similar previously solved problems (cases). Therefore the concept of similarity is the key notion in CBR. A case is characterized by a structure (usually a vector) being composed of attributes. An important task in CBR is to accumulate local similarity measures of attributes into a global similarity measure of the whole object. In this paper we study various similarity measures and possibilities of the accumulation of local measures into the global similarity measure. The main attention is devoted to the fuzzy similarity and fuzzy set-based techniques for matching in the phase of retrieving similar cases.
