TL;DR: The authors' informed analysis of practical neuro-fuzzy applications will be an asset to industrial practitioners using fuzzy technology and neural networks for control systems, data analysis and optimization tasks.
Abstract: From the Publisher: Foundations of Neuro-Fuzzy Systems reflects the current trend in intelligent systems research towards the integration of neural networks and fuzzy technology. The authors demonstrate how a combination of both techniques enhances the performance of control, decision-making and data analysis systems. Smarter and more applicable structures result from marrying the learning capability of the neural network with the transparency and interpretability of the rule-based fuzzy system. Foundations of Neuro-Fuzzy Systems highlights the advantages of integration making it a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in control engineering, computer science and applied mathematics. The authors' informed analysis of practical neuro-fuzzy applications will be an asset to industrial practitioners using fuzzy technology and neural networks for control systems, data analysis and optimization tasks.

TL;DR: A rigorous study of the principles of fuzzy set theory supports the book's fundamental aim, which is to promote the development of fuzzy systems for successful real-world applications.
Abstract: From the Publisher: The strength of this book lies in its clear and precise examination of the theory of fuzzy systems. A rigorous study of the principles of fuzzy set theory supports the book's fundamental aim, which is to promote the development of fuzzy systems for successful real-world applications. The authors highlight two important application areas: approximate reasoning in knowledge-based systems, and fuzzy control. Reflecting the state of the art in fuzzy systems research, the book is both comprehensive and practical in its approach. Its illustration of key concepts is based on a detailed analysis of the underlying semantics. Each chapter is enhanced by useful historical notes and extensive references. The book presents several industrial case studies and exercises designed to increase its appeal to advanced students and researchers in computer science, applied mathematics and engineering.

TL;DR: This book presents dozens of algorithms and implementation examples, all in pseudo-code and suitable for use in real-world, large-scale data mining projects, and provides a comprehensive, practical look at the concepts and techniques you need to get the most out of real business data.
Abstract: The increasing volume of data in modern business and science calls for more complex and sophisticated tools. Although advances in data mining technology have made extensive data collection much easier, it's still always evolving and there is a constant need for new techniques and tools that can help us transform this data into useful information and knowledge. Since the previous edition's publication, great advances have been made in the field of data mining. Not only does the third of edition of Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques continue the tradition of equipping you with an understanding and application of the theory and practice of discovering patterns hidden in large data sets, it also focuses on new, important topics in the field: data warehouses and data cube technology, mining stream, mining social networks, and mining spatial, multimedia and other complex data. Each chapter is a stand-alone guide to a critical topic, presenting proven algorithms and sound implementations ready to be used directly or with strategic modification against live data. This is the resource you need if you want to apply today's most powerful data mining techniques to meet real business challenges. * Presents dozens of algorithms and implementation examples, all in pseudo-code and suitable for use in real-world, large-scale data mining projects. * Addresses advanced topics such as mining object-relational databases, spatial databases, multimedia databases, time-series databases, text databases, the World Wide Web, and applications in several fields. *Provides a comprehensive, practical look at the concepts and techniques you need to get the most out of real business data

TL;DR: Clustering algorithms for data sets appearing in statistics, computer science, and machine learning are surveyed, and their applications in some benchmark data sets, the traveling salesman problem, and bioinformatics, a new field attracting intensive efforts are illustrated.
Abstract: Data analysis plays an indispensable role for understanding various phenomena. Cluster analysis, primitive exploration with little or no prior knowledge, consists of research developed across a wide variety of communities. The diversity, on one hand, equips us with many tools. On the other hand, the profusion of options causes confusion. We survey clustering algorithms for data sets appearing in statistics, computer science, and machine learning, and illustrate their applications in some benchmark data sets, the traveling salesman problem, and bioinformatics, a new field attracting intensive efforts. Several tightly related topics, proximity measure, and cluster validation, are also discussed.

TL;DR: A method in which the cluster centers are recognized as local density maxima that are far away from any points of higher density, and the algorithm depends only on the relative densities rather than their absolute values.
Abstract: Cluster analysis is aimed at classifying elements into categories on the basis of their similarity. Its applications range from astronomy to bioinformatics, bibliometrics, and pattern recognition. We propose an approach based on the idea that cluster centers are characterized by a higher density than their neighbors and by a relatively large distance from points with higher densities. This idea forms the basis of a clustering procedure in which the number of clusters arises intuitively, outliers are automatically spotted and excluded from the analysis, and clusters are recognized regardless of their shape and of the dimensionality of the space in which they are embedded. We demonstrate the power of the algorithm on several test cases.
