Fuzzy Modeling and Genetic Algorithms for Data Mining and Exploration |
|
Fuzzy Modeling and Genetic Algorithms for Data Mining and Exploration is a handbook for analysts, engineers, and managers involved in developing data mining models in business and government. As you’ll discover, fuzzy systems are extraordinarily valuable tools for representing and manipulating all kinds of data, and genetic algorithms and evolutionary programming techniques drawn from biology provide the most effective means for designing and tuning these systems.
You don’t need a background in fuzzy modeling or genetic algorithms to benefit, for this book provides it, along with detailed instruction in methods that you can immediately put to work in your own projects. The author provides many diverse examples and also an extended example in which evolutionary strategies are used to create a complex scheduling system.

Beyond Humanity: Cyberevolution and Future Minds |
|
By Earl Cox & Gregory S. Paul
From the Publisher
What will happen to us--after we teach our computers and robots to think? In this compelling book, two bestselling authors, a paleontologist and an artificial intelligence guru, take a controversial look at computer technology in the 21st century. They present the sociological, theological, and scientific issues that we will face, when brains are downloaded into receptacles and machines are more efficient than humans.
Synopsis
In this compelling book, two best-selling authors, a paleontologist and an artificial intelligence guru, team up to present some of the sociological, theological, and scientific issues that we will face in the 21st century when brains are downloaded into receptacles and machines are more efficient than humans.
About the Authors:
Earl Cox is an international authority on the design and application of fuzzy logic systems. Gregory S. Paul is a paleontologist, whose last publication, Predatory Dinosaurs of the World, was a bestseller and Book-of-the-Month Club selection.

Fuzzy Systems Handbook: A Practioner's Guide to Building, Using and Maintain Fuzzy Systems
|
|
From the Publisher
The Fuzzy Systems Handbook, Second Edition provides a hands-on approach to the architecture, function, and operation of fuzzy logic, the fast-growing alternative to binary logic. Intended for anyone wishing to develop fuzzy systems in a wide range of business, public policy, government, and research applications, the second edition provides not only the software tools, but also a step-by-step approach to designing, constructing, implementing, and maintaining fuzzy system models. Incorporating additional material and more real-world examples, this revised edition updates the subject of fuzzy logic as it increasingly proves itself to be a powerful technology for designing intelligent systems.
Annotation
"...shows how to put theory into practice, presenting a complete fuzzy-modeling system (source code included) and explaining how to use it."
Synopsis
Whether you're a database designer, programmer, analyst, or manager, you've probably encountered some of the challenges-and experienced some of the frustrations-associated with time-varying data. Where do you turn to fix the problem and see that it doesn't happen again? In Developing Time-Oriented Database Applications in SQL, a leading SQL researcher teaches you effective techniques for designing and building database applications that must integrate past and current data. Written to meet a pervasive, enduring need, this book will be indispensible if you happen to be part of the flurry of activity leading up to Y2K.
The enclosed CD-ROM contains all of the code fragments-implemented for Oracle8 Server, IBM DB2 Universal Database, Microsoft SQL Server, and other systems-and evaluation copies of the programs discussed in the book.
Features
* Offers incisive advice on recording temporal data using SQL data types, defining appropriate integrity constraints, updating temporal tables, and querying temporal tables with interactive and embedded SQL.
* Provides case studies detailing real-world problems and solutions in areas such as event data, state-based data, partitioned data, and audit logs.
* Contains over 400 code fragments with detailed explanations.
