Overview

Intelligent systems are required to enhance the capacities being made available to us by the internet and other computer based technologies. The theory necessary to help providing solutions to difficult problems in the construction of intelligent systems are discussed. In particular, attention is paid to situations in which the available information and data may be imprecise, uncertain, incomplete or of a linguistic nature. Various methodologies to manage such information are discussed. Among these are the probabilistic, possibilistic, fuzzy, logical, evidential and network-based frameworks.

One purpose of the book is not to consider these methodologies separately, but rather to consider how they can be used cooperatively to better represent the multiplicity of modes of information. Topics in the book include representation of imperfect knowledge, fundamental issues in uncertainty, reasoning, information retrieval, learning and mining, as well as various applications.

Key Features:

• Tools for construction of intelligent systems• Contributions by world leading experts• Fundamental issues and applications• New technologies for web searching• Methods for modeling uncertain information• Future directions in web technologies• Transversal to methods and domains

About the Author

Dr. Ronald R. Yager is a researcher in computational intelligence and decision making under uncertainty and fuzzy logic. He is currently Director of the Machine Intelligence Institute and Professor of Information Systems at Iona College. He has been an active IEEE Fellow since 1997 for his contributions to the development of the theory of fuzzy logic. He is the Editor and Chief of the International Journal of Intelligent Systems, which serves as a forum for individuals interested in tapping into the vast theories based on intelligent systems construction. He has also been invited to serve on the Editorial Boards and Executive Advisory Boards for a number of International Journals, including IEEE Intelligent Systems, IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, and the Fuzzy Sets and Systems Journal.
