Product Description: The 42 papers in this book are sourced from a broad range of international specialists involved in developing pattern recognition methodologies and those using pattern recognition techniques in their professional work. The publication is divided into six sections: Pattern Recognition; Signal and Image Processing; Probabilistic Reasoning; Neural Networks; Comparative Studies; and Hybrid Systems, giving prospective users a feeling for the applicability of the various methods in their particular field of specialization...read more

Product Description: Parallel processing for A1 problems is of great current interest because of its potential for alleviating the computational demands of Al procedures. The articles in this book consider parallel processing for problems in several areas of artificial intelligence: image processing, knowledge representation in semantic networks, production rules, mechanisation of logic, constraint satisfaction, parsing of natural language, data filtering and data mining...read more

Product Description: Topics in this book range from mathematical theories to probabilistic analysis of structures in civil engineering. Mathematical background is first covered including: probabilistic and possibilistic conceptualization of uncertainty, the algebraic structure of conditional reasoning, uncertainty modeling in anticipatory systems, reasoning by hypothesizing causal models, fuzzy sets and truth functionality...read more

How to deal with uncertainty is a subject of much controversy in Artificial Intelligence. This volume brings together a wide range of perspectives on uncertainty, many of the contributors being the principal proponents in the controversy. Some of the notable issues which emerge from these papers revolve around an interval-based calculus of uncertainty, the Dempster-Shafer Theory, and probability as the best numeric model for uncertainty. There remain strong dissenting opinions not only about probability but even about the utility of any numeric method in this context.

Product Description: Being a subject of much controversy in Artificial Intelligence, there are still many open fundamental issues in the area of uncertain reasoning. This third volume presents new research results, representing significant progress in a number of issues...read more
