This volume contains the proceedings of an international workshop on parallelism in inference systems held in Germany in December 1990. The topicof the workshop is still rather young and several papers in the book are overview articles intended to provide a first orientation toward some of the more intensively investigated subtopics. The main part of the book is a compilation of research papers on parallelization in special domains ofinference such as rewriting, automatic reasoning, logic programming, andconnectionist inference. Appended to the book is a collection of short project summaries received in response to a worldwide email call. The book is intended primarily for researchers working on inference systems who are interested in parallelizing their systems.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Rough Sets and Knowledge Technology, RSKT 2009, held in Gold Coast, Australia, in July 2009. The 85 revised full papers papers presented together with 3 keynote papers and 2 special sessions were carefully reviewed and selected from 229 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on rough sets and computing, rough sets and data reduction, data mining and knowledge discovery, granular computing and cognitive computing, fuzzy sets and computing, knowledge technology and intelligent systems, computational intelligence and applications, image processing and understanding, and formal concept analysis.
Biometrics are widely used in various real-life applications, including personal recognition, identification, verification, and more. They may also be used for safety, security, permission, banking, crime prevention, forensics, medical applications, and communication. This book explores the latest developments, theories, methods, approaches, algorithms, analysis, systems, hardware, and software in biometrics and related systems.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 30th Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, AI 2017, held in Melbourne, VIC, Australia, in August 2017. The 29 full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. This volume covers a wide spectrum of research streams in artificial intelligence ranging from machine learning, optimization to big data science and their practical applications.
Hybrid intelligent systems are becoming a very important problem-solving methodology affecting researchers and practitioners in areas ranging from science and technology to business and commerce. This volume focuses on the hybridization of different soft computing technologies and their interactions with hard computing techniques, other intelligent computing frameworks, and agents. Topics covered include: genetic-neurocomputing, neuro-fuzzy systems, genetic-fuzzy systems, genetic-fuzzy neurocomputing, hybrid optimization techniques, interaction with intelligent agents, fusion of soft computing and hard computing techniques, other intelligent systems and hybrid systems applications. The different contributions were presented at the first international workshop on hybrid intelligent systems (HIS1) in Adelaide, Australia.
The computer recognition systems are nowadays one of the most promising directions in artificial intelligence. This book is the most comprehensive study of this field. It contains a collection of 86 carefully selected articles contributed by experts of pattern recognition. It reports on current research with respect to both methodology and applications. In particular, it includes the following sections: Biometrics Data Stream Classification and Big Data Analytics Features, learning, and classifiers Image processing and computer vision Medical applications Miscellaneous applications Pattern recognition and image processing in robotics Speech and word recognition This book is a great reference tool for scientists who deal with the problems of designing computer pattern recognition systems. Its target readers can be the as well researchers as students of computer science, artificial intelligence or robotics.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Brain Informatics, BI 2011, held in Lanzhou, China, in September 2011. The 27 revised full papers and 6 keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. They are grouped in topcial sections on thinking and perception-centric investigations of human information processing systems; information technologies for the management, analysis and use of brain data; cognition-inspired applications. Furthermore, there is a section with 8 papers from the workshop on meta-synthesis and complex systems.
Reason and Inquiry: The Erotetic Theory presents a unified theory of the human capacity for reasoning and decision-making. The erotetic theory accounts for a diverse range of empirically documented fallacies and framing effects. It shows how the same mental processes that yield fallacies can yield what logicians call first-order validity and probabilistic coherence in reasoning, as well as rational decision-making as conceived by economists. The book's central idea is that our minds naturally aim at resolving issues, and if we are sufficiently inquisitive in the process, we can avoid mistakes. The erotetic theory holds that both the successes and the failures of reason are due to this aim. Rationality is secured if we reach what is described by the theory as erotetic equilibrium.
