SIDCBR | case based reasoner that tests a new technique

SIDCBR is a Ruby library. SIDCBR has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

sid stands for semantic index distance. it is a way to index cases for retrival of similar cases in a cbr. sid uses a semantic net and associations between a case and that net to establish what the case is. when we want to retrieve a case we index the unsolved case according to the semantic net. after this sid uses a breadth-first search technique to establish a numerical value for how far away a case is. these numbers are assigned to the case encountered up to some distance from the querying case. that is all sid does. sid acts on all connections between the querying case and the semantic net so as to both be accurate and be capable of parallel computation. signals have a type which is defined as the relation between the case that is sending the signal and the node where the signal originates. when comparing cases a signal is sent out along each connection that the querying case has. these signals start with an initial strength s and each connection they follow reduces that strength. this means that no matter where the signal originates it will only reach a local area as defined by s. with that being said this
