text: # Textual case-based reasoning
  
  Textual case-based reasoning (TCBR) is a subtopic of case-based reasoning, in short CBR, a popular area in artificial intelligence. CBR suggests the ways to use past experiences to solve future similar problems, requiring that past experiences be structured in a form similar to attribute-value pairs. This leads to the investigation of textual descriptions for knowledge exploration whose output will be, in turn, used to solve similar problems.
  
  ## Subareas
  
  Textual case-base reasoning research has focused on:
  
  * measuring similarity between textual cases
  * mapping texts into structured case representations
  * adapting textual cases for reuse
  * automatically generating representations.
