Neural Approximations for Optimal Control and Decision provides a comprehensive methodology for the approximate solution of functional optimization problems using neural networks and other nonlinear approximators where the use of traditional optimal control tools is prohibited by complicating factors like non-Gaussian noise, strong nonlinearities, large dimension of state and control vectors, etc.Features of the text include:• a general functional optimization framework;• thorough illustration of recent theoretical insights into the approximate solutions of complex functional optimization problems;• comparison of classical and neural-network based methods of approximate solution;• bounds to the errors of approximate solutions;• solution algorithms for optimal control and decision in deterministic or stochastic environments with perfect or imperfect state measurements over a finite or infinite time horizon and with onedecision maker or several;• applications of current interest: routing in communications networks, traffic control, water resource management, etc.; and• numerous, numerically detailed examples.The authors’ diverse backgrounds in systems and control theory, approximation theory, machine learning, and operations research lend the book a range of expertise and subject matter appealing to academics and graduate students in any of those disciplines together with computer science and other areas of engineering.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment, INTETAIN 2023 which was held in Lucca, Italy, during November 27, 2023.The 15 full papers presented in this book were selected from 56 submissions. They present novel and innovative work in areas of methods (machine learning, movement), computer-based systems (architectures, software, algorithms), and devices (digital cameras, smartphones).The papers are grouped in sessions of thematic issues on Games and Game-Based learning; Motion Capture; Sports and Competitions; and Interfaces and Applications.

The four-volume set LNCS 16068-16071 constitutes the proceedings of the 34th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks and Machine Learning, ICANN 2025, held in Kaunas, Lithuania, September 9–12, 2025.The 170 full papers and 8 abstracts included in these conference proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 375 submissions. The conference strongly values the synergy between theoretical progress and impactful real-world applications, and actively encourages contributions that demonstrate how artificial neural networks are being used to address pressing societal and technological challenges.
