Case-based reasoning library for flexible learning by Zhang, Chuan Yu

“…In case-based reasoning, case libraries serve three functions: recalling old experiences, interpreting the new situation in terms of the old experience based on the lessons that we learned from the old experience, or adapting the old solution to meet the needs of the new situation. When the stories are indexed, they are more easily accessible and usable. …”
