The paper is an attempt to summarize the previous works of the author on integrating deductive and abductive reasoning paradigms for solving the classification task. A two-tiered reasoning and learning architecture in which Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) used both as a corrective of the solutions inferred by a deductive reasoning system and as a method for accumulating and refining knowledge is briefly described. As illustrative e~Amples the applications of the approach for problems of the case-bnsed maintenance of rnie-based systems and for case-based refinement of neural networks are presented.
