This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Rough Sets and Current Trends in Computing, RSCTC 2004, held in Uppsala, Sweden in June 2004.
The 45 revised full papers and 60 revised short papers presented together with 3 invited papers and a bibliographic project report were carefully reviewed and...
This collection represents the primary reference work for researchers and students in the area of Temporal Reasoning in Artificial Intelligence. Temporal reasoning has a vital role to play in many areas, particularly Artificial Intelligence. Yet, until now, there has been no single volume collecting together the breadth of work in this area. This...
This book presents an exhaustive and timely review of key research work on fuzzy XML data management, and provides readers with a comprehensive resource on the state-of-the art tools and theories in this fast growing area. Topics covered in the book include: representation of fuzzy XML, query of fuzzy XML, fuzzy database models,...
This book tries to address the following questions: How should the uncertainty and incompleteness inherent to sensing the environment be represented and modelled in a way that will increase the autonomy of a robot? How should a robotic system perceive, infer, decide and act efficiently? These are two of the challenging questions robotics...
Intelligence may be narrowly defined as the capacity to acquire knowledge and understanding, and use it in different novel situations. It is this ability, or capacity, which enables the individual to deal with real situations and profit intellectually from sensory experience. A test of intelligence is designed to formally study, under test...
Data Preparation for Data Mining addresses an issue unfortunately ignored by most authorities on data mining: data preparation. Thanks largely to its perceived difficulty, data preparation has traditionally taken a backseat to the more alluring question of how best to extract meaningful knowledge. But without adequate preparation of your...
The papers in this volume are the refereed papers presented at AI-2009, the Twenty-ninth SGAI International Conference on Innovative Techniques and Applications of Artificial Intelligence, held in Cambridge in December 2009 in both the technical and the application streams.
They present new and innovative developments and applications,...
The title of this book is both subversive and ambitious. It is subversive because
few academic publications deal with this subject. There has, of course, been work
done in robotics on artificially reproducing a “human” movement. One can also find
more cognitive works about the way of reasoning – i.e. storing and...
This book presents the state of the art in sparse and multiscale image and signal processing, covering linear multiscale transforms, such as wavelet, ridgelet, or curvelet transforms, and non-linear multiscale transforms based on the median and mathematical morphology operators. Recent concepts of sparsity and morphological diversity are...
"The best logic of our time is to be found in computer science departments....Computer scientists (many of whom are former logicians) are developing the logic that really matters, the one that really meets the challenges of today's demands for automated reasoning. This book is a prime example of such triumph of useful logic." --The...
Learn statistical reasoning and problem solving from a best--selling author who uses a wealth of examples from the social and behavioral sciences,, education,, nursing/allied health,, and business fields----as well as examples from everyday life--to help you learn and understand.. Praised for his clear explanations,, Spatz shows you how to...
In the summer of 1956, John McCarthy organized the famous Dartmouth Conference which is now commonly viewed as the founding event for the field of Artificial Intelligence. During the last 50 years, AI has seen a tremendous development and is now a well-established scientific discipline all over the world. Also in Europe AI is in excellent shape, as...
