Abstract:
1. A computer-implementable method comprising the steps of: storing, in at least one memory storage device in a computer, a case base and a generalization/analog base, wherein the case base comprises user-validated knowledge statements and the generalization/analog base comprises computer-generated knowledge statements, each of the user-validated knowledge statements and the computer-generated knowledge statements comprising a consequent and an antecedent with more than one antecedent features; receiving, from a computer input device, a user-specified context comprising more than one context features; searching the case base for a user-validated knowledge statement having antecedent features that match each of the context features; displaying the user-validated knowledge statement consequent to the user via a display device if a user-validated knowledge statement having antecedent features that match the context features is found; and receiving user feedback regarding the displayed user-validated knowledge statement consequent, wherein if the user feedback indicates that the user-validated knowledge statement consequent is incorrect the method further comprises the step of creating, during runtime, a new rule by performing an analogical contextual transformation by
