The aim of this commentary is to discuss the contribution of soft computing—a consortium of fuzzy logic, neural network theory, evolutionary computing, and probabilistic reasoning—to the development of case-based reasoning (CBR) systems. We will describe how soft computing has been used in case representation, retrieval, adaptation, reuse, and case-base maintenance, and then present a brief summary of six CBR applications that use soft computing techniques.

Abstract In this study, a cotton disease diagnosis method that uses a combined algorithm of case-based reasoning (CBR) and fuzzy logic was designed and implemented. It focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and control of diseases affecting cotton production in China. Conventional methods of disease diagnosis are primarily based on CBR with reference to user-provided symptoms; however, in most cases, user-provided symptoms do not fully meet the requirements of CBR. To address this problem, fuzzy logic is incorporated into CBR to allow for more flexible and accurate models. With the help of CBR and fuzzy reasoning, three diagnostic results can be obtained by the cotton disease diagnosis system (CDDS) constructed in this study: success, success but not exact and failure. To verify the reliability of the CDDS and its ability to diagnose cotton diseases, its diagnostic accuracy and stability were analyzed and compared with the results obtained by the traditional expert scoring method. The analysis results reveal that the CDDS can achieve a high diagnostic success rate (above 90%) and better diagnostic stability than the traditional expert scoring method when at least four disease symptoms are input. The CDDS provides an independent and objective source of information to assist farmers in the diagnosis and prevention of cotton diseases.
