Case Based Reasoning and Adaptation for Warmachine

Abstract

The project explores a case-based reasoning system for the miniature war game Warmachines. Case based reasoning is a powerful method for computer reasoning that mimics human problem solving. Adaptation is the main focus of the project and it attempts to improve user queries by replacing miniatures from an input army. The project compares several different techniques utilizing an expert group for a less biased evaluation of performance.

An architectural description helps provide context to the CBR implementation and the project also gives an introduction to both CBR systems and Warmachine to help readers understand the domain.
