A matrix of evaluation and comparison of Case-Based Reasoning (C6R) software tools to facilitate understanding and appreciation

摘要

Case-based Reasoning software tools have made the Case-based Reasoning theory particularly feasible in recent years and have driven the current surge in interest within this domain of Artificial Intelligence. There are currently several Case-based Reasoning software tools on the market. These may be from academic research projects or from well-known software development houses in the field of Artificial Intelligence. They offer basic to advanced development techniques within the Case-based Reasoning environment cycle. For research purposes a number of Case-based Reasoning tools were selected on the basis of those most widely used and currently available in both the academic and commercial market place. The paper provides a detailed matrix based on important criteria that correspond to the evaluation of these Case-based Reasoning tools.
