Abstract

Learning is an intrinsic product of case-based reasoning. Acquiring new cases is one possible way of learning in a case-based system. These cases comprise mainly success knowledge. The successful cases are essentially used to generate new design solutions. But a case-based system also can make use of failure knowledge. In this paper we present how a case-based system can acquire failure cases for verification of the solution created by success cases. We describe IM-RECIDE, a system that uses case-based reasoning for solving design problems that are imperfectly described and explained. The learning aspect is focused and some of the machine learning dimensions in design are criticized. Experimental results in the domain of room configuration also are presented.
