Abstract

Disclosed herein is a computer-implemented method of creating a new case in a case-based reasoning (CBR) system for monitoring a situation, the method comprising: determining a set of one or more cases from a plurality of cases in dependence on a received data stream comprising information on a monitored situation, wherein each case comprises information describing a problem and information describing a solution to the problem and the process of determining the set of one or more cases is performed without comparing the description of the problems of any of the plurality of cases with a previously generated current case comprising information describing the monitored situation; generating information describing a solution in dependence on information obtained from the determined set of one or more cases and/or in dependence on information received from a user interface; generating a current case comprising information describing the monitored situation in dependence on the received data stream; and generating a new case in dependence on the generated information describing a solution and the generated current case.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method of creating a new case in a case-based reasoning (CBR) system for monitoring a situation, the method comprising:

determining a set of one or more cases from a plurality of cases in dependence on a received data stream comprising information on a monitored situation, wherein each case comprises information describing a problem and information describing a solution to the problem and the process of determining the set of one or more cases is performed without comparing the description of the problems of any of the plurality of cases with a previously generated current case comprising information describing the monitored situation;

generating information describing a solution in dependence on information obtained from the determined set of one or more cases and/or in dependence on information received from a user interface;

using a computer, generating a current case comprising information describing the monitored situation in dependence on the received data stream; and

generating the new case in dependence on the generated information describing a solution and the generated current case.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising generating the current case after generating the information describing a solution.

3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising generating a request for the current case;

and

generating the current case in response to receiving the request.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising automatically generating the current case.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of cases are stored in a case base and the method further comprises storing the generated new case in the case base.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the process of determining a set of one or more cases includes creating a comparison agent for each of the plurality of cases, and the method comprises generating a new comparison agent for the generated new case.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein each case comprises information that describes a situation in one of the finance industry, healthcare industry or energy industry.

8. A CBR system for monitoring a situation, the CBR system configured to perform the method of claim 1.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a computing device, controls the computing device to perform the method of claim 1.
