CL-Protos: Knowledge Acquisition for Heuristic Classification Tasks

areas/reasonng/case_bsd/protos/
CL-PROTOS is a Common Lisp reconstruction of the research version of the Protos exemplar-based learning apprentice conceived by E. Ray Bareiss and Bruce W. Porter of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at The University of Texas at Austin. Protos was originally developed as an experiment in knowledge acquisition for heuristic classification tasks. The original research version of Protos was written in Prolog. This Common Lisp implementation is a reconstruction, not a Prolog-to-Lisp rewrite. Thus, CL-Protos differs from the original Protos in several places, but mostly by intention. Ray Bareiss had a consulting role in this reconstruction and suggested many of the changes.
