Encyclopedia of Machine Learning and Data Mining

Claude Sammut is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of New South Wales, Australia, and Head of the Artificial Intelligence Research Group. He is the UNSW node Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Autonomous Systems and a member of the joint ARC/NH&MRC project on Thinking Systems. He is on the editorial boards of the Journal of Machine Learning Research, the Machine Learning Journal and New Generation Computing, and was the chairman of the 2007 International Conference on Machine Learning.Geoffrey I. Webb is research professor in the faculty of Information Technology at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. He has published more than 150 scientific papers and is the author of the data mining software package Magnum Opus. His research areas include strategies for strengthening the Naïve Bayes machine learning technique, K-optimal pattern discovery, and work on Occam’s razor. He is editor-in-chief of Springer’s Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery journal, as well as being on the editorial board of Machine Learning.

“The topics covered in the revised edition include applications, data mining, evolutionary computation, graph mining, information theory, learning and logic, pattern mining, reinforcement learning, relational mining, statistical learning, and text mining. … I recommend the encyclopedia as a valuable resource for libraries … .” (S. V. Nagaraj, Computing Reviews, January, 2018)​
