Innovative Applications in Data Mining (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2009

Data mining consists of attempting to discover novel and useful knowledge from data, trying to find patterns among datasets that can help in intelligent decision making. However, reports of real-world case studies are not generally detailed in the literature, due to the fact that they are usually based on proprietary datasets, making it impossible...

Tools and Applications with Artificial Intelligence (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2009

The term “intelligence” seems to be a “must” in a large number of European and International project calls. AI Techniques have been used in almost any domain. Application-oriented systems usually incorporate some kind of...

Knowledge-Based Neurocomputing: A Fuzzy Logic Approach (Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing)

Springer, 2009

In this monograph, the authors introduce a novel fuzzy rule-base, referred to as the Fuzzy All-permutations Rule-Base (FARB). They show that inferring the FARB, using standard tools from fuzzy logic theory, yields an input-output map that is mathematically equivalent to that of an artificial neural network. Conversely, every standard...

Geocomputation and Urban Planning (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2009

Sixteen years ago, Franklin estimated that about 80% of data contain geo-referenced information. To date, the availability of geographic data and information is growing, together with the capacity of users to operate with IT tools and instruments. Spatial data infrastructures are growing and allow a wide number of users to rely on them. This growth...
