Large volumes of data and complex problems inspire research in computing and data, text, and web
mining. However, analyzing data is not sufficient, as it has to be presented visually with analytical capabilities,
i.e., a chart/diagram/image illustration that enables humans to perceive, relate, and conclude
in the knowledge discovery...
PAKDD has been recognized as a major international conference in the areas of
data mining (DM) and knowledge discovery in databases (KDD). It provides an
international forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their new
ideas, original research results and practical development experiences from all
KDD-related areas...
Before the invention of the Internet and the creation of the Web, the vast majority of human
conversations were in spoken form, with the only notable, but extremely limited, exception being
epistolary exchanges. Some important spoken conversations, such as criminal trials and political
debates (e.g., Hansard, the transcripts of...
These Lecture Notes are based on a series of lectures I gave at the Linkoping University
Department of Electrical Engineering in 1988. In these lectures 1 tried to give an overview
of the theory of representation of compact groups and some applications in the fields of
image science and pattern recognition.
Computability has played a crucial role in mathematics and computer science
– leading to the discovery, understanding and classification of decidable/
undecidable problems, paving the way to the modern computer era
and affecting deeply our view of the world. Recent new paradigms of computation,
based on biological and physical...
The definitive survey of computational intelligence from luminaries in the field
Computational intelligence is a fast-moving, multidisciplinary field - the nexus of diverse technical interest areas that include neural networks, fuzzy logic, and evolutionary computation. Keeping up with computational intelligence means understanding...
We are all familiar with the time-honored idea of a Virtual Machine that is neutral
with respect to computer architecture and can be used to execute a high-level
language, after its translation to the VM byte-code. This approach can be found in
several successful mono-language systems, that support popular languages such as
Java or...
The way we interact with machines is always changing. As technology evolves, new
ways of interacting with computers become available to us, one innovative breakthrough
after the next. If we go back 10 years, RIM was just starting to implement
phone capabilities into their line of Blackberry mobile devices. Now we...
These proceedings contain the papers that were presented at the 5th International
Conference on Language and Automata Theory and Applications (LATA
2011), held in Tarragona, Spain, during May 26–31, 2011.
The scope of LATA is rather broad, including: algebraic language theory;
algorithms for semi-structured...
The use of computing technology for entertainment purposes is not a recent phenomenon.
Video game consoles, home computers and other entertainment media
have been used widely for more than three decades, and people of all ages are spending
an increasing amount of time and money on these technologies.
Pioneered by the Open Handset Alliance and Google,Android is a popular, free, opensource
mobile platform that has taken the wireless world by storm.This book and
Android Wireless Application Development Volume I: Android Essentials provide comprehensive
guidance for software development teams on designing,...
