The papers cover a wide range of CBR topics that are of interest both to researchers and practitioners from foundations of Case-Based Reasoning; over CBR systems for specific tasks and related fields; up to CBR systems, applications and lessons learned in specific areas of expertise such as...

With the onset of massive cosmological data collection through media such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), galaxy classification has been accomplished for the most part with the help of citizen science communities like Galaxy Zoo. Seeking the wisdom of the crowd for such Big Data processing has proved extremely beneficial. However, an analysis of one of the Galaxy Zoo morphological classification data sets has shown that a significant majority of all classified galaxies are labelled as "Uncertain."

This book reports on how to use data mining, more specifically clustering, to...

Visual content understanding is a complex and important challenge for applications in automatic multimedia information indexing, medicine, robotics, and surveillance.
