Using mutually validated memories of experts for case-based knowledge systems

The extended collective decision matrix derived from the process of MAGDM that is used to construct case bases is more practical and effective than other approaches, as its elements are meaningful and interpretable. The proposed framework, integrating fuzzy linguistic GDM and CBR, thus enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of a CBR system. This is further evidenced in the results of an experiment, which show that this hybrid framework is very effective in implementing a case-based knowledge system and provides a powerful methodology for performance ranking.
