Abstract

This paper describes the various explanation capabilities of the open source case-based reasoning tool myCBR. myCBR features conceptual explanations, which provide information about concepts of the application domain, backward explanations, which explain results of the retrieval process, and forward explanations, which support in the modelling of similarity measures. myCBR has been developed as a rapid prototyping tool with a general purpose interface as well as a similarity-based retrieval engine for easy integration in other applications where the explanations can be further adapted to the application's requirements.
