Download or read book Swarm Intelligence and Bio Inspired Computation written by Priti Srinivas Sajja and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-05-16 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bio-inspired models have taken inspiration from the nature to solve challenging problems in an intelligent manner. Major aims of such bio-inspired models of computation are to propose new unconventional computing architectures and novel problem solving paradigms. Computing models such as artificial neural network (ANN), genetic algorithm (GA), and swarm intelligence (SI) are major constituent models of the bio-inspired approach. Applications of these models are ubiquitous and hence proposed to be applied for Semantic Web. The chapter discusses fundamentals of these bio-inspired constituents along with some heuristic that can be used to design and implement these constituents and briefly surveys recent applications of these models for the Semantic Web. The study shows that the objective of the Semantic Web is better met with such approach and the Web can be accessed in more human-oriented way. At the end, a generic framework for web content filtering based on neuro-fuzzy approach is presented. By considering online webpages and fuzzy user profile, the proposed system classifies the webpages into vague categories using a neural network.

Download or read book Computational Intelligence for Semantic Knowledge Management written by Giovanni Acampora and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of computational intelligence methods for semantic knowledge management. Contrary to popular belief, the methods for semantic management of information were created several decades ago, long before the birth of the Internet. In fact, it was back in 1945 when Vannevar Bush introduced the idea for the first protohypertext: the MEMEX (MEMory + indEX) machine. In the years that followed, Bush’s idea influenced the development of early hypertext systems until, in the 1980s, Tim Berners Lee developed the idea of the World Wide Web (WWW) as it is known today. From then on, there was an exponential growth in research and industrial activities related to the semantic management of the information and its exploitation in different application domains, such as healthcare, e-learning and energy management. However, semantics methods are not yet able to address some of the problems that naturally characterize knowledge management, such as the vagueness and uncertainty of information. This book reveals how computational intelligence methodologies, due to their natural inclination to deal with imprecision and partial truth, are opening new positive scenarios for designing innovative semantic knowledge management architectures.
Download or read book Computational Intelligence Volume II written by Hisao Ishibuchi and published by EOLSS Publications. This book was released on 2015-12-30 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational intelligence is a component of Encyclopedia of Technology, Information, and Systems Management Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Computational intelligence is a rapidly growing research field including a wide variety of problem-solving techniques inspired by nature. Traditionally computational intelligence consists of three major research areas: Neural Networks, Fuzzy Systems, and Evolutionary Computation. Neural networks are mathematical models inspired by brains. Neural networks have massively parallel network structures with many neurons and weighted connections. Whereas each neuron has a simple input-output relation, a neural network with many neurons can realize a highly non-linear complicated mapping. Connection weights between neurons can be adjusted in an automated manner by a learning algorithm to realize a non-linear mapping required in a particular application task. Fuzzy systems are mathematical models proposed to handle inherent fuzziness in natural language. For example, it is very difficult to mathematically define the meaning of “cold” in everyday conversations such as “It is cold today” and “Can I have cold water”. The meaning of “cold” may be different in a different situation. Even in the same situation, a different person may have a different meaning. Fuzzy systems offer a mathematical mechanism to handle inherent fuzziness in natural language. As a result, fuzzy systems have been successfully applied to real-world problems by extracting linguistic knowledge from human experts in the form of fuzzy IF-THEN rules. Evolutionary computation includes various population-based search algorithms inspired by evolution in nature. Those algorithms usually have the following three mechanisms: fitness evaluation to measure the quality of each solution, selection to choose good solutions from the current population, and variation operators to generate offspring from parents. Evolutionary computation has high applicability to a wide range of optimization problems with different characteristics since it does not need any explicit mathematical formulations of objective functions. For example, simulation-based fitness evaluation is often used in evolutionary design. Subjective fitness evaluation by a human user is also often used in evolutionary art and music. These volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers.
Download or read book Automatic Verification of Parameterized Systems by Over Approximation written by Vladislavs Jahundovics and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents a completely automatic verification framework to check safety properties of parameterized systems. A parameterized system is a family of finite state systems where every system consists of a finite number of processes running in parallel the same algorithm. All the systems in the family differ only in the number of the processes and, in general, the number of systems in a family may be unbounded. Examples of parameterized systems are communication protocols, mutual exclusion protocols, cache coherence protocols, distributed algorithms etc. Model-checking of finite state systems is a well-developed formal verification approach of proving properties of systems in an automatic way. However, it cannot be applied directly to parameterized systems because the unbounded number of systems in a family means an infinite state space. In this thesis we propose to abstract an original family of systems consisting of an unbounded number of processes into one consisting of a fixed number of processes. An abstracted system is considered to consist of k+1 components—k reference processes and their environment. The transition relation for the abstracted system is an over-approximation of the transition relation for the original system, therefore, a set of reachable states of the abstracted system is an over-approximation of the set of reachable states of the original one. A safety property is considered to be parameterized by a fixed number of processes whose relationship is in the center of attention in the property. Such processes serve as reference processes in the abstraction. We propose an encoding which allows to perform reachability analysis for an abstraction parameterized by the reference processes. We have successfully verified three classic parameterized systems with replicated processes by applying this method.
