Programming Project (Last updated: August 31st /2010) Updates: - All details of project given - Deadline: Part I: September 29TH 2010 (in class) Part II: November 15th2010 (in class) Part III: December 6th 2010 (in class)
Overview • What: We are going to implement a IDSS for a diagnosis task (e.g., help-desk system) using Interactive CBR • Representation: attribute-value pairs that vary from case to case • Idea: attribute values will be asked to the user to dynamically determine which case(s) are more similar to the current situation • Requirement: Should run in this classroom • Part II will be presented in class: • December 6th, Part III
User <A,V> interaction We perform interactive situation elicitation selects case Alternative cases (ranked according to their similarity to the current problem) … Idea problem IDSS’s Known Facts
The system will read two text files: one containing the list of cases and one containing the list of known facts Input • Format of the cases (XML): • <case> • <name>text</name> • <symptoms> • <attribute1>value1</attribute1> • <attribute2>value2</attribute2> • … • </symptoms> • <solution> • <attribute>value</attribute> • <helpMeasures>text</helpMeasures> • </solution> • </case>
Input (Cont’d) • Format of the types: • <type> • <name>attribute</name> • <valueType>integer/real/text</valueType> • </type> • <type><name>attribute</name> • <valueType>symbol</valueType> • <value>name1</value> • … • <value>namem</value> • </type>
Input (Cont’d) • Format of the file with the cases: • <caseBase> • <cases> • <case>…</case> • <case>…<case> • … • </cases> • <types> • <type>…</type> • <type>…</type> • … • </types> • </caseBase>
Input (Cont’d) • Format of the facts (cont’d): • <fact> • <attribute>value</attribute> • </fact> • Format of the facts file: • <facts> • <fact> … </fact> • <fact> … </fact> • … • </facts>
Part I Due Date: September 29TH 2010 • You should have decided the programming language that you want to use for implementing your project • You should have a data structure for: • Case • Type • List of types • List of cases • Fact • List of facts • You should have a parser working that is capable of parsing the two files (you may make your own parser, or find and use an existing one) • Output: print in standard output the cases/facts read
Part II • Due date: November 15nd2010 • System should be capable of displaying: • Attributes (distinguish those that the value is already known -i.e., facts- and those that not) • Attribute weights • parameter to give more weight to matches/mismatches • Alternative cases • Details of cases • Please use windowed GUI for the interface
Part II • Due date: November 15th 2010 (in class) • The system should let users be able to: • assign/change values to attributes • read cases and facts files • Choose to see a case in detail • Select a case (any case!) as the solution • Enter weights for attributes and assign other weights automatically so they add to 1 • Enter parameter for matches/mismatches
Part II • The system should be able to: • Display attributes in descending order according to: • To their information gain • Display cases in descending order according to their Weighted Hamming Distance and the parameter
Components System Interface • |Change parameter • Default is set to 0.5 • Change attribute weights • Automatically recalculate so weights add to 1. User may set weight for 2 out of n attributes, the system will set equal weight to the remaining n-2, so that all weights add to 1 • User can select to read facts and case base files Settings Window Facts window • |Sorted by Information gain formula • Resulting values must be displayed in interface • Test it on Restaurant domain (compare against slides/book for the correct numeric value) • Allows changing values of attributes • Sorted by (inverse) of Hamming distance • Resulting values must be displayed in interface • As facts are changed, the similarities must change • User can view the actual case Cases window
Part II • Due date: November 15th 2010 (in class) • You should hand out a document describing: • Description of the project • The interface: components, functionality, etc • Formulas: • Information gain/mixed formula ordering attributes • Weighted Hamming distance with parameter 4. Limitations of the system/Possible extensions 5. Conclusions
Part III • Due date: December 6th 2010 (noon) • Create a knowledge base in a domain of your choice • Case base consists
