Abstract

A CBR(Case-Based Reasoning) system solves the new problems by adapting the solutions that were used to solve the old problems. Past cases are retained in the case base, each in a specific form that is determined by features. Features are selected for the purpose of representing the case in the best way. Similar cases are retrieved by comparing the feature values and calculating the similarity scores. Therefore, the performance of CBR depends on the selected feature subsets. In this research, we measured the Selection Effect and the Elimination Effect of each feature. The Selection Effect is measured by performing the CBR with only one feature, and the Elimination Effect is measured by performing the CBR without only one feature. Based on these measurements, the feature subsets are selected. The resulting CBR showed better performance in terms of accuracy and efficiency than the CBR with all features.

사례기반 추론은 과거의 사례를 기반으로 새로운 사례에 대한 답을 제시하는 기계학습의 한 분야이다. 과거의 사례는 일정한 형식으로 사례 베이스에 저장되는데, 저장의 형식을 결정하는 것이 속성이다. 속성은 사례의 특징을 가장 잘 표현할 수 있는 것들로 구성되며, 속성값간의 유사도 도출을 통해서 유사 사례를 검색하게 된다. 따라서, 사례기반 추론은 사용되는 속성에 따라서 성능이 달라지게 된다 본 연구에서는 먼저 속성을 하나씩만 사용하여 사례기반 추론을 수행하여 각 속성의 선택효과를 측정하고, 하나씩만 제거하고 사례기반 추론을 수행하여 각 속성의 제거효과를 측정하였다. 이 측정치들을 근거로 속성의 부분집합을 구성하여 사례기반 추론을 구현한 결과, 속성을 전부 사용했을 때보다 성능과 효율성이 우수한 사례기반 추론 시스템을 구축할 수 있었다.
