Presenting the latest developments and research results on fault diagnosis approaches using computational intelligence methodologies, this book opens with a review of the state-of-the-art before focusing on various theoretical aspects of computational intelligence methodologies applied to real-world fault diagnosis problems.

Chapters deal with topics such as fuzzy sets applications to fault diagnosis, neural network based fault diagnosis applications and neuro-fuzzy techniques for fault diagnosis. The last chapter considers the problem of diagnosing large scale complex systems using local agents which, can be implemented using computational intelligence based fault diagnosis techniques. Several case studies are used.

This book presents the most recent concerns and research results in industrial fault diagnosis using intelligent techniques, and will be of interest to application engineers/technologists, graduates and researchers wishing to apply these techniques, as well as build up a foundation for further study.

This book provides a collection of recent research works addressing theoretical issues on improving the learning process and the generalization of GANs as well as state-of-the-art applications of GANs to various domains of real life. Adversarial learning fascinates the attention of machine learning communities across the world in recent years. Generative adversarial networks (GANs), as the main method of adversarial learning, achieve great success and popularity by exploiting a minimax learning concept, in which two networks compete with each other during the learning process. Their key capability is to generate new data and replicate available data distributions, which are needed in many practical applications, particularly in computer vision and signal processing. The book is intended for academics, practitioners, and research students in artificial intelligence looking to stay up to date with the latest advancements on GANs’ theoretical developments and their applications.

This book presents an overview and several applications of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). It covers different aspects related to explainable artificial intelligence, such as the need to make the AI models interpretable, how black box machine/deep learning models can be understood using various XAI methods, different evaluation metrics for XAI, human-centered explainable AI, and applications of explainable AI in health care, security surveillance, transportation, among other areas.

The book is suitable for students and academics aiming to build up their background on explainable AI and can guide them in making machine/deep learning models more transparent. The book can be used as a reference book for teaching a graduate course on artificial intelligence, applied machine learning, or neural networks. Researchers working in the area of AI can use this book to discover the recent developments in XAI. Besides its use in academia, this book could be used by practitioners in AI industries, healthcare industries, medicine, autonomous vehicles, and security surveillance, who would like to develop AI techniques and applications with explanations.

This volume explores the most recent innovations and significant developments in the domains of Artificial Intelligence and its impact in transforming society, propelling innovation across diverse fields such as healthcare, education, finance, and transportation. It spans a wide range of dimensions, including:

By merging cutting-edge theoretical insights with practical applications, this volume provides researchers, practitioners, and students with the essential knowledge and tools to explore and advance within the dynamic field of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence brings numerous benefits to society, including improved efficiency and productivity in various industries through automation and intelligent data analysis. It enhances healthcare with advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans, and provides smarter living environments through smart cities and innovative technologies.

This volumeincludes extended and revised versions of the papers presented at the 4thWorkshop on “Combinations of Intelligent Methods and Applications” (CIMA 2014) whichwas intended to become a forum for exchanging experience and ideas amongresearchers and practitioners dealing with combinations of differentintelligent methods in Artificial Intelligence. The aim is to create integratedor hybrid methods that benefit from each of their components. Some of theexisting presented efforts combine soft computing methods (fuzzy logic, neuralnetworks and genetic algorithms). Another stream of efforts integrates case-basedreasoning or machine learning with soft-computing methods. Some of thecombinations have been more widely explored, like neuro-symbolic methods,neuro-fuzzy methods and methods combining rule-based and case-based reasoning.CIMA 2014 was held in conjunction with the 26th IEEE InternationalConference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence (ICTAI2014). 

This book presents recent research on the hybridization of intelligent methods, which refers to combining methods to solve complex problems. It discusses hybrid approaches covering different areas of intelligent methods and technologies, such as neural networks, swarm intelligence, machine learning, reinforcement learning, deep learning, agent-based approaches, knowledge-based system and image processing. The book includes extended and revised versions of invited papers presented at the 6th International Workshop on Combinations of Intelligent Methods and Applications (CIMA 2016), held in The Hague, Holland, in August 2016. 

The book is intended for researchers and practitioners from academia and industry interested in using hybrid methods for solving complex problems.

The BIRS Workshop “Advances in Interactive Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining in Complex and Big Data Sets” (15w2181), held in July 2015 in Banff, Canada, was dedicated to stimulating a cross-domain integrative machine-learning approach and appraisal of “hot topics” toward tackling the grand challenge of reaching a level of useful and useable computational intelligence with a focus on real-world problems, such as in the health domain. This encompasses learning from prior data, extracting and discovering knowledge, generalizing the results, fighting the curse of dimensionality, and ultimately disentangling the underlying explanatory factors in complex data, i.e., to make sense of data within the context of the application domain. 

The workshop aimed to contribute advancements in promising novel areas such as at the intersection of machine learning and topological data analysis. History has shown that most often the overlapping areas at intersections of seemingly disparate fields are key for the stimulation of new insights and further advances. This is particularly true for the extremely broad field of machine learning.
