Han Liu, Alexander Gegov, Mihaela Cocea, "Rule Based Systems for Big Data: A Machine Learning Approach"


English | 2015 | ISBN-10: 3319236954 | 121 pages | pdf | 2.8 MB

The ideas introduced in this book explore the relationships among rule based systems, machine learning and big data. Rule based systems are seen as a special type of expert systems, which can be built by using expert knowledge or learning from real data.




The book focuses on the development and evaluation of rule based systems in terms of accuracy, efficiency and interpretability. In particular, a unified framework for building rule based systems, which consists of the operations of rule generation, rule simplification and rule representation, is presented. Each of these operations is detailed using specific methods or techniques. In addition, this book also presents some ensemble learning frameworks for building ensemble rule based systems

Risk Regulation in Non-Animal Food Imports: The European Union Approach (Repost)

Risk Regulation in Non-Animal Food Imports: The European Union Approach By Francesco Montanari, Veronika Jezso, Carlo Donati


2015 | 112 Pages | ISBN: 3319140132 | PDF | 3 MB

This Brief aims at providing a general understanding of the rationale – scientific as well as political – behind EU policy and related risk management decisions in the area on non-animal food imports. Lately, various menaces associated with imported food and feed of non-animal origin appeared in the media: imported sprout seeds contaminated with E. coli, strawberries containing hepatitis A or noro viruses, to name but a few, are now as much discussed as the different well-known meat scandals. The authors explain the reinforced official controls at EU borders on certain imports of non-animal origin and the wide range of EU measures that currently foresee trade restrictions for imports presenting chemical and non-chemical ‘high risks’ from a public health perspective (so-called ‘emergency measures’). The Brief closely examines chemical (and also non-chemical) risks associated with imports of non-animal origin and their impact on human health. The authors also consider the role risk analysis is playing to underpin risk-management decisions at EU level, including the scientific output by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Cyclic Analysis: A Dynamic Approach to Technical Analysis

J. M. Hurst, "Cyclic Analysis: A Dynamic Approach to Technical Analysis"


1999 | ISBN-10: 0934380562 | 48 pages | PDF | 4 MB

The advent of accurate and continuous equity price histories made possible the study of equity price movement as a function of time, independent of all other variables.




Early studies of such data produced the conclusion that equity prices vary in a random, hence unpredictable, way.




This conclusion has been replaced in the last decade as evidence mounts that equity price variation is ordered and quasi-predictable.




The relationship between past and future prices is found to be complex and nonlinear. Current simplified models represent price movement as consisting of a linear combination of wave functions with specific and consistent interrelationships. This viewpoint has led to the development of the Wave Theory of Price Action.




From this Wave Theory, a body of practical application methods called Cyclic Analysis has been evolved which permits a fully integrated and wholly technical approach to the problem of trading and investing successfully in the stock and commodity markets.




This approach features the following unique capabilities: prediction of price-reversal timing, prediction of the price at an anticipated reversal, estimation of the extent of the price move expected to follow a reversal, and evaluation of a transaction before entry in terms of risk and profit potential.




Cyclic Analysis methodology has been field tested since 1971, and computerized analysis aids are available.

Sliding Mode Control: The Delta-Sigma Modulation Approach (repost)

Hebertt Sira-Ramírez, "Sliding Mode Control: The Delta-Sigma Modulation Approach"


English | ISBN: 3319172565 | 2015 | 258 pages | PDF | 10 MB

This monograph presents a novel method of sliding mode control for switch-regulated nonlinear systems. The Delta Sigma modulation approach allows one to implement a continuous control scheme using one or multiple, independent switches, thus effectively merging the available linear and nonlinear controller design techniques with sliding mode control. Sliding Mode Control: The Delta-Sigma Modulation Approach, combines rigorous mathematical derivation of the unique features of Sliding Mode Control and Delta-Sigma modulation with numerous illustrative examples from diverse areas of engineering. In addition, engineering case studies demonstrate the applicability of the technique and the ease with which one can implement the exposed results. This book will appeal to researchers in control engineering and can be used as graduate-level textbook for a first course on sliding mode control.

A Many-Valued Approach to Deduction and Reasoning for Artificial Intelligence

A Many-Valued Approach to Deduction and Reasoning for Artificial Intelligence by Guy Bessonet


English | 31 Jan. 1991 | ISBN: 0792391381 | 272 Pages | DJVU | 8 MB

This book introduces an approach that can be used to ground a variety of intelligent systems, ranging from simple fact based systems to highly sophisticated reasoning systems. As the popularity of AI related fields has grown over the last decade, the number of persons interested in building intelligent systems has increased exponentially. Some of these people are highly skilled and experienced in the use of Al techniques, but many lack that kind of expertise. Much of the literature that might otherwise interest those in the latter category is not appreci ated by them because the material is too technical, often needlessly so. The so called logicists see logic as a primary tool and favor a formal approach to Al, whereas others are more content to rely on informal methods. This polarity has resulted in different styles of writing and reporting, and people entering the field from other disciplines often find themselves hard pressed to keep abreast of current differences in style. This book attempts to strike a balance between these approaches by covering points from both technical and nontechnical perspectives and by doing so in a way that is designed to hold the interest of readers of each persuasion. During recent years, a somewhat overwhelming number of books that present general overviews of Al related subjects have been placed on the market . These books serve an important function by providing researchers and others entering the field with progress reports and new developments.
