This paper presents an algorithm called IBP that combines case-based and model-based reasoning for an interpretive CBR application, predicting the outcome of legal cases. IBP uses ...
This paper addresses the problem of constructing good action selection policies for agents acting in partially observable environments, a class of problems generally known as Part...
A human annotator can provide hints to a machine learner by highlighting contextual "rationales" for each of his or her annotations (Zaidan et al., 2007). How can one ex...
