Download or read book Methods and Applications of Artificial Intelligence written by George A. Vouros and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-04-22 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arti?cial intelligence has attracted a renewed interest from distinguished sci- tists and has again raised new, more realistic this time, expectations for future advances regarding the development of theories, models and techniques and the use of them in applications pervading many areas of our daily life. The borders of human-level intelligence are still very far away and possibly unknown. Nev- theless, recent scienti?c work inspires us to work even harder in our exploration of the unknown lands of intelligence. This volume contains papers selected for presentation at the 3rd Hellenic Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence (SETN 2004), the o?cial meeting of the Hellenic Society for Arti?cial Intelligence (EETN). The ?rst meeting was held in the University of Piraeus, 1996 and the second in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), 2002. SETN conferences play an important role in the dissemination of the in- vative and high-quality scienti?c results in arti?cial intelligence which are being produced mainly by Greek scientists in institutes all over the world. However, the most important e?ect of SETN conferences is that they provide the context in which people meet and get to know each other, as well as a very good opp- tunity for students to get closer to the results of innovative arti?cial intelligence research.

Download or read book Intelligent Knowledge written by Yong Shi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-08 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is mainly about an innovative and fundamental method called “intelligent knowledge” to bridge the gap between data mining and knowledge management, two important fields recognized by the information technology (IT) community and business analytics (BA) community respectively. The book includes definitions of the “first-order” analytic process, “second-order” analytic process and intelligent knowledge, which have not formally been addressed by either data mining or knowledge management. Based on these concepts, which are especially important in connection with the current Big Data movement, the book describes a framework of domain-driven intelligent knowledge discovery. To illustrate its technical advantages for large-scale data, the book employs established approaches, such as Multiple Criteria Programming, Support Vector Machine and Decision Tree to identify intelligent knowledge incorporated with human knowledge. The book further shows its applicability by means of real-life data analyses in the contexts of internet business and traditional Chinese medicines.

Download or read book Hidden History of Jackson County Michigan written by Linda Hass and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Jackson County brims with colorful characters and noteworthy episodes nearly lost to time. Jackson abolitionists used their barns, houses and hidden compartments to harbor freedom seekers traveling on the Underground Railroad. One even repelled an armed posse from Kentucky. A prominent druggist murdered his mother in 1889 and a jail guard in 1893. Evidence suggests he murdered his father too. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt traveled to Brown's Lake for relaxation in 1935, but a media mob had other plans. A popular Blackman Township roadhouse has a longstanding tradition of entertaining pioneers, stagecoach drivers and mobsters, but its secret guests are even stranger. Join local historian Linda Hass as she delves into these and other entertaining and often-overlooked stories.
