Simone Bassis – författare

This volume collects a selection of contributions which has been presented at the 23rd Italian Workshop on Neural Networks, the yearly meeting of the Italian Society for Neural Networks (SIREN). The conference was held in Vietri sul Mare, Salerno, Italy during May 23-24, 2013. The annual meeting of SIREN is sponsored by International Neural Network Society (INNS), European Neural Network Society (ENNS) and IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS). The book – as well as the workshop-  is organized in two main components, a special session and a group of regular sessions featuring different aspects and point of views of artificial neural networks, artificial and natural intelligence, as well as psychological and cognitive theories for modeling human behaviors and human machine interactions, including Information Communication applications of compelling interest.

This book collects research works that exploit neural networks and machine learning techniques from a multidisciplinary perspective. Subjects covered include theoretical, methodological and computational topics which are grouped together into chapters devoted to the discussion of novelties and innovations related to the field of Artificial Neural Networks as well as the use of neural networks for applications, pattern recognition, signal processing, and special topics such as the detection and recognition of multimodal emotional expressions and daily cognitive functions, and  bio-inspired memristor-based networks.

Providing insights into the latest research interest from a pool of international experts coming from different research fields, the volume becomes valuable to all those with any interest in a holistic approach to implement believable, autonomous, adaptive and context-aware Information Communication Technologies.

This carefullyedited book is putting emphasis on computational and artificial intelligentmethods for learning and their relative applications in robotics, embeddedsystems, and ICT interfaces for psychological and neurological diseases. Thebook is a follow-up of the scientific workshop on Neural Networks (WIRN 2015)held in Vietri sul Mare, Italy, from the 20th to the 22nd of May 2015. Theworkshop, at its 27th edition became a traditional scientific event thatbrought together scientists from many countries, and several scientificdisciplines. Each chapter is an extended version of the original contributionpresented at the workshop, and together with the reviewers’ peer revisions italso benefits from the live discussion during the presentation.

The content of book is organized in the following sections.

1. Introduction,

2. Machine Learning,

3. Artificial Neural Networks: Algorithms and models,

4. Intelligent Cyberphysical and Embedded System,

5. Computational Intelligence Methods for Biomedical ICT in NeurologicalDiseases,

6. Neural Networks-Based Approaches to Industrial Processes,

7. Reconfigurable ModularAdaptive Smart Robotic Systems forOptoelectronics

Industry: The White''R Instantiation

This book is unique in proposing a holistic and multidisciplinaryapproach to implement autonomous, and complex Human Computer Interfaces.

The ultimate goal of this book is to bring the fundamental issues of information granularity, inference tools and problem solving procedures into a coherent, unified, and fully operational framework. The objective is to offer the reader a comprehensive, self-contained, and uniform exposure to the subject.The strategy is to isolate some fundamental bricks of Computational Intelligence in terms of key problems and methods, and discuss their implementation and underlying rationale within a well structured and rigorous conceptual framework as well as carefully related to various application facets. The main assumption is that a deep understanding of the key problems will allow the reader to compose into a meaningful mosaic the puzzle pieces represented by the immense varieties of approaches present in the literature and in the computational practice. All in all, the main approach advocated in the monograph consists of a sequence of steps offering solid conceptual fundamentals, presenting a carefully selected collection of design methodologies, discussing a wealth of development guidelines, and exemplifying them with a pertinent, accurately selected illustrative material.
