Download or read book Trees and Hierarchical Structures written by Andreas Dress and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "raison d'etre" of hierarchical dustering theory stems from one basic phe nomenon: This is the notorious non-transitivity of similarity relations. In spite of the fact that very often two objects may be quite similar to a third without being that similar to each other, one still wants to dassify objects according to their similarity. This should be achieved by grouping them into a hierarchy of non-overlapping dusters such that any two objects in ~ne duster appear to be more related to each other than they are to objects outside this duster. In everyday life, as well as in essentially every field of scientific investigation, there is an urge to reduce complexity by recognizing and establishing reasonable das sification schemes. Unfortunately, this is counterbalanced by the experience of seemingly unavoidable deadlocks caused by the existence of sequences of objects, each comparatively similar to the next, but the last rather different from the first.

Download or read book Modelling Complex Systems Tree Structures written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The state space is a very important and fundamental concept for the treatment of complex systems. All the system's properties can be understood by means of its structure. Due to the gigantic extent of a real system's state space, a coarse grained approach is inevitable for the analysis. In this work, based on the well established model of hierarchical trees, particular aspects of complex systems have been studied, while at the same time several extensions to the model have been made. In the first part of this research work the features of the probability flow are treated in detail at a single saddle point in the energy landscape. Influences of various parameters like energetic depth, density of states and connectivity are studied isolated and in their interaction. In the second part a whole system showing complex behavior is being considered, especially its energy exchange with the surroundings. It can be demonstrated that the hierarchical relaxation behavior observed in other realizations of complex systems is intrinsically covered by the tree model. Beside energy landscape based systems turbulent diffusion processes possess hierarchical structures, too. In the third part the tree structure has been used to model a turbulent superdiffusion process. The diffusion behavior observed there has been compared with four well known diffusion equation approaches. The results show that only one of the discussed continuum diffusion equations can model the turbulent transport based on the tree model in acceptable fashion.

Download or read book Tree Structure based Hybrid Computational Intelligence written by Yuehui Chen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-11-27 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in computational intelligence is directed toward building thinking machines and improving our understanding of intelligence. As evident, the ultimate achievement in this field would be to mimic or exceed human cognitive capabilities including reasoning, recognition, creativity, emotions, understanding, learning and so on. In this book, the authors illustrate an hybrid computational intelligence framework and it applications for various problem solving tasks. Based on tree-structure based encoding and the specific function operators, the models can be flexibly constructed and evolved by using simple computational intelligence techniques. The main idea behind this model is the flexible neural tree, which is very adaptive, accurate and efficient. Based on the pre-defined instruction/operator sets, a flexible neural tree model can be created and evolved. This volume comprises of 6 chapters including an introductory chapter giving the fundamental definitions and the last Chapter provides some important research challenges. Academics, scientists as well as engineers engaged in research, development and application of computational intelligence techniques and data mining will find the comprehensive coverage of this book invaluable.

Download or read book Hierarchical Methods written by V. Kulish and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everybody is current in a world surrounded by computer. Computers determine our professional activity and penetrate increasingly deeper into our everyday life. Therein we also need increasingly refined c- puter technology. Sometimes we think that the next generation of c- puter will satisfy all our dreams, giving us hope that most of our urgent problems will be solved very soon. However, the future comes and il- sions dissipate. This phenomenon occurs and vanishes sporadically, and, possibly, is a fundamental law of our life. Experience shows that indeed ‘systematically remaining’ problems are mainly of a complex tech- logical nature (the creation of new generation of especially perfect - croschemes, elements of memory, etc. ). But let us note that amongst these problems there are always ones solved by our purely intellectual efforts alone. Progress in this direction does not require the invention of any ‘superchip’ or other similar elements. It is important to note that the results obtained in this way very often turn out to be more significant than the ‘fruits’ of relevant technological progress. The hierarchical asymptotic analytical–numerical methods can be - garded as results of such ‘purely intellectual efforts’. Their application allows us to simplify essentially computer calculational procedures and, consequently, to reduce the calculational time required. It is obvious that this circumstance is very attractive to any computer user.
