A learning method is an algorithm (usually implemented in software) that esti-
mates an unknown mapping (dependency) between a system’s inputs and outputs
from the available data, namely from known (input, output) samples. Once such
a dependency has been accurately estimated, it can be used for prediction of future
system outputs from the known input values. This book provides a unified descrip-
tion of principles and methods for learning dependencies from data.
An interdisciplinary framework for learning methodologies—covering statistics, neural networks, and fuzzy logic, this book provides a unified treatment of the principles and methods for learning dependencies from data. It establishes a general conceptual framework in which various learning methods from statistics, neural networks, and fuzzy logic can be applied—showing that a few fundamental principles underlie most new methods being proposed today in statistics, engineering, and computer science. Complete with over one hundred illustrations, case studies, and examples making this an invaluable text. |

Clustering (IEEE Press Series on Computational Intelligence)Clustering has become an increasingly important topic in recent years, caused by the glut of data from a wide variety of disciplines. However, due to the lack of good communication among these communities, similar theories or algorithms are redeveloped many times, causing unnecessary waste of time and resources. Furthermore, different terminologies... | | Information Processing and Security SystemsInformation Processing and Security Systems is a collection of forty papers that were originally presented at an international multi-conference on Advanced Computer Systems (ACS) and Computer Information Systems and Industrial Management Applications (CISIM) held in Elk, Poland.

More than half the people in the United States now use the Web on a regular basis. We use it to read today's news, to check tomorrow's weather, and to search for events that have happened in the distant past. And increasingly, the Web is the focus of the 21st century... |
Post Quantum CryptographyQuantum computers will break today's most popular public-key cryptographic systems, including RSA, DSA, and ECDSA. This book introduces the reader to the next generation of cryptographic algorithms, the systems that resist quantum-computer attacks: in particular, post-quantum public-key encryption systems and post-quantum public-key signature... | | Automation through Chef Opscode: A Hands-on Approach to Chef
