A probabilistic examplar based model (1998)
Thesis
Rodriguez Martinez, A. A probabilistic examplar based model. (Thesis). University of Salford

A central problem in case based reasoning (CBR) is how to store and retrieve
cases. One approach to this problem is to use exemplar based models, where only
the prototypical cases are stored. However, the development of an exemplar based
model (EB... Read More about A probabilistic examplar based model.
