People come to case-based reasoning from many different starting places (I came from the knowledge-based systems and knowledge acquisition fields), but regardless of how you came to case-based reasoning it's kinda useful to know something about machine learning (ML). In fact there are compelling arguements to say that CBR is a sub-discipline of ML. So if you weren't fortunate enough to take a course on ML at college or just want to reinforce what you already know this is the perfect book for you. Machine learning by Tom Mitchell is an excellent introductory text covering:

  • Concept Learning and General-to-Specific Ordering
  • Decision Tree Learning
  • Artificial Neural Networks
  • Evaluating Hypotheses
  • Bayesian Learning
  • Computational Learning Theory
  • Instance-Based Learning
  • Genetic Algorithms
  • Learning Sets of Rules
  • Analytical Learning
  • Combining Inductive and Analytical Learning
  • Reinforcement Learning
  • The book also provides access to on-line ML data and code.
