AbstractAquaculture as an industry is quickly expanding. As a result, new aquaculture sites are being established at more exposed locations previously deemed unfit because they are more difficult and resource demanding to safely operate than are traditional sites. To help the industry deal with these challenges, we have developed a decision support system to support decision makers in establishing better plans and make decisions that facilitate operating these sites in an optimal manner. We propose a case-based reasoning system called aquaculture case-based reasoning (AQCBR), which is able to predict the success of an aquaculture operation at a specific site, based on previously applied and recorded cases. In particular, AQCBR is trained to learn a similarity function between recorded operational situations/cases and use the most similar case to provide explanation-by-example information for its predictions. The novelty of AQCBR is that it uses extended Siamese neural networks to learn the similarity between cases. Our extensive experimental evaluation shows that extended Siamese neural networks outperform state-of-the-art methods for similarity learning in this task, demonstrating the effectiveness and the feasibility of our approach.

Identification of skin disease has become a challenging task with the origination of various skin diseases. This paper presents a case-based reasoning (CBR) decision support system to enhance dermatological diagnosis for rural and remote communities. In this proposed work, an automated way is introduced to deal with the inconsistency problem in CBRs. This new hybrid architecture is to support the diagnosis in multiple skin diseases. The architecture used case-based reasoning terminology facilitates the medical diagnosis. Case based reasoning system retrieves the data which contains symptoms and treatment plan of the disease from the data repository by the way of matching visual contents of the image, such as shape, texture, and color descriptors. The extracted feature vector is fed into a framework to retrieve the data. The results proved using ROC curve that the proposed architecture yields high contribution to the computer-aided diagnosis of skin lesions. In experimental analysis, the system yields a specificity of 95.25% and a sensitivity of 86.77%. Our empirical evaluation has a superior retrieval and diagnosis performance when compared to the performance of other works.

Culinary is one of the favorite businesses today. The number of considerations to choose a restaurant or place to visit becomes one of the factors that is difficult to determine the restaurant or place to eat. To get the desired place to eat advice, one needs a recommendation system. Decisions made by the recommendation system can be used as a reference to determine the choice of restaurants. One method that can be used to build a recommendation system is Case Based Reasoning. The Case Based Reasoning (CBR) method mimics human ability to solve a problem or cases. The retrieval process is the most important stage, because at this stage the search for a solution for a new case is carried out. The study used the K-Nearest Neighbor method to find closeness between new cases and case bases. With the selection of features used as domains in the system, the results of recommendations presented can be more suggestive and accurate. The system successfully provides complex recommendations based on the type and type of food entered by the user. Based on blackbox testing, the system has features that can be used and function properly according to the purpose of creating the system.

Quality design means designing quality specifications and processing specifications of products with low cost and high efficiency. This paper presents a hierarchical case-based reasoning approach for quality design. The structure and expression of case-base, the hierarchical case retrieval algorithms and similarity computation formula between cases are all studied. Such a hierarchical case-based reasoning method will greatly improve the retrieval accuracy and efficiency.
