This paper presents a decision support system for radiotherapy treatment planning for head, neck and brain cancer. The aim of a treatment plan is to apply radiation to kill tumor cells, while minimizing the damage to healthy tissue and critical organs. Since treatment planning is a complex decision making process that relies heavily on the subjective experience of clinicians, we propose the use of case-based reasoning (CBR), in which problems are solved based on the solutions of similar past problems. This paper focuses on the case retrieval process of a CBR system. The attributes, which describe the cases, are selected by assessing their effect on the performance of the CBR system. We have developed a context sensitive local weighting scheme that assigns weights to attributes based on their value and the values of other attributes in the target case. A novel two phase retrieval mechanism is developed, in which each phase is optimized to retrieve a particular part of the solution. We also present an original use of fuzzy logic in order to represent nonlinearity in the similarity measure. Experiments, which evaluate the similarity measure using real brain cancer patient cases, show promising results.

AbstrakCase-Based Reasoning (CBR) merupakan sistem penalaran komputer yang menggunakan pengetahuan lama untuk mengatasi masalah baru.CBR memberikan solusi terhadap kasus baru dengan melihat kasus lama yang paling mendekati kasus baru. Hal ini akan sangat bermanfaat karena dapat menghilangkan kebutuhan untuk mengekstrak model seperti yang dibutuhkan oleh sistem berbasis aturan. Penelitian ini mencoba untuk membangun suatu sistem Penalaran Berbasis Kasus untuk melakukan diagnosa penyakit THT (Telinga, Hidung dan Tenggorokan). Proses diagnosa dilakukan dengan cara memasukkan kasus baru (target case) yang berisi gejala-gejala ang akan didiagnosa ke dalam sistem, kemudian sistem akan melakukan proses indexing dengan metode backpropagation untuk memperoleh indeks dari kasus baru tersebut. Setelah memperoleh indeks, sistem selanjutnya melakukan proses perhitungan nilai similarity antara kasus baru dengan basis kasus yang memiliki indeks yang sama menggunakan metode cosine coefficient. Kasus yang diambil adalah kasus dengan nilai similarity paling tinggi. Jika suatu kasus tidak berhasil didiagnosa, maka akan dilakukan revisi kasus oleh pakar. Kasus yang berhasil direvisi akan disimpan ke dalam sistem untuk dijadikan pengetahuan baru bagi sistem. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sistem penalaran berbasis kasus untuk mendiagnosa penyakit THT ini membantu paramedis dalam melakukan diagnosa. Hasil uji coba sistem terhadap 111 data kasus uji, terdapat 9 kasus yang memiliki nilai similarity di bawah 0.8.  Kata kunci—case-based reasoning, indexing, similarity, backpropagation, cosine coefficient Abstract Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is a reasoning system that uses old knowledge to solve new problem. CBR provides solutions to new cases by looking at old case that comes closest to the new case. It will be very useful because it eliminates the need to extract the model as required by the rule-based systems.

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.
