Constructing and Explaining Case Models: A Case-based Argumentation Perspective

Wachara Fungwacharakorn, Ken Satoh and Bart Verheij

In this paper, we investigate constructing and explaining on case models, which have been proposed as formal models for presumptive reasoning and evaluating arguments from cases. Recent research shows applications of case models and relationships between case models and other computational reasoning models. However, formal methods for constructing and explaining case models have not been investigated yet. Therefore, in this paper, we present methods for constructing and explaining case models based on the formalism of abstract argumentation for case-based reasoning (AA-CBR). The methods are illustrated in this paper with a legal example of paying penalties for a delivery company. We found that we can constructed case models can provide model-theoretic semantics equivalent to AA-CBR, and that explanations in case models can be made by dispute trees as in AA-CBR.
