Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Planning of actions based on decision theory is a hot topic for many disciplines. Seemingly unlimited computing power, networking, integration and collaboration have meanwhile attracted the attention of fields like Machine Learning, Operations Research, Management Science and Computer Science. Software agents of e-commerce, mediators of Information Retrieval Systems and Database based Information Systems are typical new application areas. Until now, planning methods were successfully applied in production, logistics, marketing, finance, management, and used in robots, software agents etc. It is the special feature of the book that planning is embedded into decision theory, and this will give the interested reader new perspectives to follow-up.

The book aims to merge Computational Intelligence with Data Mining, which are both hot topics of current research and industrial development, Computational Intelligence, incorporates techniques like data fusion, uncertain reasoning, heuristic search, learning, and soft computing. Data Mining focuses on unscrambling unknown patterns or structures in very large data sets. Under the headline Discovering Structures in Large Databases the book starts with a unified view on Data Mining and Statistics - A System Point of View. Two special techniques follow: Subgroup Mining, and Data Mining with Possibilistic Graphical Models. Data Fusion and Possibilistic or Fuzzy Data Analysis is the next area of interest. An overview of possibilistic logic, nonmonotonic reasoning and data fusion is given, the coherence problem between data and non-linear fuzzy models is tackled, and outlier detection based on learning of fuzzy models is studied. In the domain of Classification and Decomposition adaptive clustering and visualisation of high dimensional data sets is introduced. Finally, in the section Learning and Data Fusion learning of special multi-agents of virtual soccer is considered.The last topic is on data fusion based on stochastic models.

The fields of similarity and preference are still broadening due to the exploration of new fields of application. This is caused by the strong impact of vagueness, imprecision, uncertainty and dominance on human and agent information, communication, planning, decision, action, and control as well as by the technical progress of the information technology itself. The topics treated in this book are of interest to computer scientists, statisticians, operations researchers, experts in AI, cognitive psychologists and economists.

Dieses Buch ist das Standardwerk zu einem neuen Bereich der angewandten Fuzzy-Technologie, der Fuzzy-Clusteranalyse. Diese beinhaltet Verfahren der Mustererkennung zur Gruppierung und Strukturierung von Daten. Dabei werden im Gegensatz zu klassischen Clustering-Techniken die Daten nicht eindeutig zu Klassen zugeordnet, sondern Zugehorigkeitsgrade bestimmt, so dass die Fuzzy-Verfahren robust gegenuber gestorten oder verrauschten Daten sind und fliessende Klassenubergange handhaben konnen. Dieses Werk gibt eine methodische Einfuhrung in die zahlreichen Fuzzy-Clustering-Algorithmen mit ihren Anwendungen in den Bereichen Datenanalyse, Erzeugung von Regeln fur Fuzzy-Regler, Klassifikations- und Approximationsprobleme sowie eine ausfuhrliche Darstellung des Shell-Clustering zur Erkennung von geometrischen Konturen in Bildern.

“Fuzzy Control - the revolutionary computer technology that is changing our world” - these and other headlines could be read when in the early 90’s news from Japan came over telling us about the success of fuzzy controllers. The idea which was put into practice had been suggested by Lot? A. Zadeh in Berkeley in 1965. It had been developed and tested in some practical - plications, especially in Europe. In Japan fuzzy control was celebrated as a technology re?ecting the Japanese way of thinking by its unsharpness and - plicitoverlappingofseveralstatements. Anewtechnologyboomwaspredicted for Japan which would make Europe lose ground. Consequently, this news created unrest. Research projects were initiated and development departments were engaged to translate fuzzy control into products. Adversaries and supporters hurried up to inform themselves and intensely discussed whether the “conventional” or the fuzzy control were the better alternative. Finally, the excitement cooled down since in recent years fuzzy control was analyzed fromthe classical pointofview. Thus,amoreobjective evaluation of its strong and weak points was possible. Furthermore, it was shown how fuzzy systems could be put to use in the steering level which is the level above the control loop, especially in interaction with other methods of soft computing and arti?cial intelligence. Based on these fundamentals, the aim of this book is to support the convenient use of fuzzy controllers and fuzzy systems in the branch of control engineering and automation systems.

In recent years there has been a growing interest to extend classical methods for data analysis.The aim is to allow a more flexible modeling of phenomena such as uncertainty, imprecision or ignorance.Such extensions of classical probability theory and statistics are useful in many real-life situations, since uncertainties in data are not only present in the form of randomness --- various types of incomplete or subjective information have to be handled.About twelve years ago the idea of strengthening the dialogue between the various research communities in the field of data analysis was born and resulted in the International Conference Series on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS).This book gathers contributions presented at the SMPS'2012 held in Konstanz, Germany. Its aim is to present recent results illustrating new trends in intelligent data analysis.It gives a comprehensive overview of current research into the fusion of soft computing methods with probability and statistics.Synergies of both fields might improve intelligent data analysis methods in terms of robustness to noise and applicability to larger datasets, while being able to efficiently obtain understandable solutions of real-world problems.
