Overview
With the large amount of data stored by many organizations, capitalists have observed that this information is an intangible asset. Unfortunately, handling large databases is a very complex process and traditional learning techniques are expensive to use. Heuristic techniques provide much help in this arena, although little is known about heuristic techniques. Heuristic and Optimization for Knowledge Discovery addresses the foundation of this topic, as well as its practical uses, and aims to fill in the gap that exists in current literature.
Editorials
From The Critics
Focusing on searching, optimization, statistics, data mining, neural networks, and applications, fifteen chapters by scholars and practitioners from around the world cover topics like: feature selection, cost-sensitive classification, heuristic search-based stacking, search engine design, Bayesian learning, the role of sampling, the gamma test, the use of neural networks for small data sets, and cluster analysis. The techniques are applied to on-line shopping, medical data, credit card use, and archeological data. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
