Abstract
A comprehensive look at learning and generalization theory. The statistical theory of learning and generalization concerns the problem of choosing desired functions on the basis of empirical data. Highly applicable to a variety of computer science and robotics fields, this book offers lucid coverage of the theory as a whole. Presenting a method for determining the necessary and sufficient conditions for consistency of learning process, the author covers function estimates from small data pools, applying these estimations to real-life problems, and much more.

A similarity learning approach to content-based image retrieval: application to digital mammography

TL;DR: A new approach to content-based retrieval of medical images from a database is described, in which similarity is learned from training examples provided by human observers, and the use of neural networks and support vector machines to predict the user's notion of similarity is explored.

A support vector machine–firefly algorithm-based model for global solar radiation prediction

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid machine learning technique for solar radiation prediction based on some meteorological data is examined, which is developed by hybridizing the Support Vector Machines (SVMs) with Firefly Algorithm (FFA) to predict the monthly mean horizontal global solar radiation using three meteorological parameters of sunshine duration (n¯), maximum temperature (Tmax), and minimum temperature(Tmin) as inputs.

An Improved Photovoltaic Power Forecasting Model With the Assistance of Aerosol Index Data

TL;DR: Based on seasonal weather classification, the back propagation (BP) artificial neural network (ANN) approach is utilized to forecast the next 24-h PV power outputs, and the estimated results of the proposed PV power forecasting model coincide well with measurement data as discussed by the authors.
