Knowledge Engineering Requirements in Derivational Analogy
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-08)A major advantage in using a case-based approach to developing knowledge-based systems is that it can be applied to problems where a strong domain theory may be difficult to determine. However the development of case-based ... -
ISAC: A CBR System for Decision Support in Air Traffic Control
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-08)The conflict resolution task performed by air-traffic controllers appears a suitable task for automation using CBR. This is because human competence seems to involve recognising situations and reusing solutions. In this ... -
Case-Based Reasoning in Scheduling: Reusing Solution Components
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-08)In this paper we explore the reuse of components of known good schedules in new scheduling problems. This involves accumulating a case-base of good quality schedules, retrieving a case (or cases) similar to a new scheduling ... -
Where do "Soccer Moms" Come From? : Cognitive Constraints on Noun-Noun Compounding in English
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-12)Every year new noun-noun combinations enter the English language and become common parlance; compounds like "notebook computer" and "soccer mom". But, why is one pair of words chosen rather than another pair ? For ... -
Polysemy in Conceptual Combination: Testing the Constraint Theory of Combination
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1996-12)Most novel noun-noun combinations are polysemous in that they tend to suggest several possible meanings. A finger cup can be a cup in which fingers are washed, a cup shaped like a finger, a narrow cup and so on. In this ... -
Using Case Retrieval to Seed Genetic Algorithms
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1997)In this paper we evaluate the usefulness of seeding genetic algorithms (GAs) from a case-base. This is motivated by the expectation that the seeding will speed up the GA by starting the search in promising regions of the ... -
Hierarchical Case-Based Reasoning: Integrating Case-Based and Decompositional Problem-Solving Techniques for Plant-Control Software Design
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1997)Case-based reasoning (CBR) is an AI technique that emphasises the role of past experience during future problem solving. New problems are solved by retrieving and adapting the solutions to similar problems, solutions ... -
Code Generation with ?Visual Modeller?
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1997)?Visual Modeller? is a CASE tool that permits end-users to model business processes, using the associated method ?Visual Modelling?. It is also able to generate the database and a ?front-end? application from this model. ... -
Mobile Agents - Smart Messages
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1997-05)Wireless communication with Mobile Computing devices is known to be problematic. It is very different in character from conventional communication over wired networks. Since many distributed applications make assumptions ... -
Software Agents: A review
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1997-05-27)[Introduction] In September 1996, Broadcom Ireland formed a research collaboration with the Computer Science Department in Trinity College Dublin., in order to explore current research in the domain of Intelligent Agents ... -
ISAC: A Case-Based Reasoning System for Aircraft Conflict Resolution
(University of Dublin, Trinity College. Department of Computer Science, 1998-04)To be inserted later -
The Epoch Interpretation of Learning
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-06)In this paper we propose a simple, alternative interpretation of backpropagation learning. We call this the ?epoch interpretation of learning? and show how it can be used to improve the performance of earlystopping based ... -
Distributed CBR using XML
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-06)CBR (case-based reasoning) has considerable potential for developing intelligent assistants for the World Wide Web. Several case-based intelligent applications already exist on the web but these applications follow a ... -
CBR Net :- Smart Technology over a Network
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-06)CBR (case-based reasoning) has considerable potential for developing intelligent assistants for the World Wide Web. We examine intelligent applications already existent online and find that they can be divided into agent ... -

Hierarchical CBR for Multiple Aircraft Conflict Resolution in Air Traffic Control
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-07)In this paper we present a Case-Based Reasoning system that helps air traffic controllers to solve aircraft conflicts. In particular, we focus on the hierarchical aspect of the CBR system which is able to solve multiple ... -
Agent Mediated Collaborative Web Page Filtering
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-07)Intelligent filtering of multimedia documents such as World Wide Web (WWW) pages is an extremely difficult task to automate. However, the determination of a page?s relevance to one?s interests is a skill that comes ... -
Generalised Syntactic Pattern Recognition as a Unifying Approach in Image Analysis
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-08)In this paper we analyse theoretical foundations of syntactic pattern recognition and its relationships with mathematical linguistics, structural pattern recognition, and statistical pattern recognition. We point out ... -
An Incremental Retrieval Mechanism for Case-Based Electronic Fault Diagnosis
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-09)One problem with using CBR for diagnosis is that a full case description may not be available at the beginning of the diagnosis. The standard CBR methodology requires a detailed case description in order to perform case ... -
Modular parsers
(Trinity College Dublin, Department of Computer Science, 1998-09-29)Traditional parser generators are designed to produce highly optimised parsers for grammars known in their entirety ahead of time. There are some circumstances where it is desirable to construct a parser from grammar ...
