Self-Adaptive Systems for Machine Intelligence (eBook, PDF)

This book will advance the understanding and application ofself-adaptive intelligent systems; therefore it will potentiallybenefit the long-term goal of replicating certain levels ofbrain-like intelligence in complex and networked engineeringsystems. It will provide new approaches for adaptive systems withinuncertain environments. This will provide an opportunity toevaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the currentstate-of-the-art of knowledge, give rise to new researchdirections, and educate future professionals in this domain.Self-adaptive intelligent systems have wide applications frommilitary security systems to civilian daily life. In this bookdifferent application problems, including pattern recognitionclassification, image recovery, and sequence learning, will bepresented to show the capability of the proposed systems inlearning, memory, and prediction. Therefore, this book will alsoprovide potential new solutions to many real-worldapplications.
