Popis: Non-learning problem solvers have been applied to many interesting and complex domains. Experience-based learning techniques have been developed to augment the capabilities of certain non-learning problem solvers in order to improve overall performance. An alternative approach to enhancing pre-existing systems is automatic case elicitation, a learning technique in which a case-based reasoning system with no prior domain knowledge acquires knowledge automatically through real-time exploration and interaction with its environment. In empirical testing in the domain of checkers, results suggest not only that experience can substitute for the inclusion of pre-coded model-based knowledge, but also that the ability to explore is crucial to the performance of automatic case elicitation.
