Introduction to Machine Learning by The goal of machine learning is to program computers to use example data or past experience to solve a given problem. Many successful applications of machine learning exist already, including systems that analyze past sales data to predict customer behavior, optimize robot behavior so that a task can be completed using minimum resources, and extract knowledge from bioinformatics data. Introduction to Machine Learning is a comprehensive textbook on the subject, covering a broad array of topics not usually included in introductory machine learning texts. Subjects include supervised learning; Bayesian decision theory; parametric, semi-parametric, and nonparametric methods; multivariate analysis; hidden Markov models; reinforcement learning; kernel machines; graphical models; Bayesian estimation; and statistical testing. Machine learning is rapidly becoming a skill that computer science students must master before graduation. The third edition of Introduction to Machine Learning reflects this shift, with added support for beginners, including selected solutions for exercises and additional example data sets (with code available online). Other substantial changes include discussions of outlier detection; ranking algorithms for perceptrons and support vector machines; matrix decomposition and spectral methods; distance estimation; new kernel algorithms; deep learning in multilayered perceptrons; and the nonparametric approach to Bayesian methods. All learning algorithms are explained so that students can easily move from the equations in the book to a computer program. The book can be used by both advanced undergraduates and graduate students. It will also be of interest to professionals who are concerned with the application of machine learning methods.
Multi-Agent Machine Learning by The book begins with a chapter on traditional methods of supervised learning, covering recursive least squares learning, mean square error methods, and stochastic approximation. Chapter 2 covers single agent reinforcement learning. Topics include learning value functions, Markov games, and TD learning with eligibility traces. Chapter 3 discusses two player games including two player matrix games with both pure and mixed strategies. Numerous algorithms and examples are presented. Chapter 4 covers learning in multi-player games, stochastic games, and Markov games, focusing on learning multi-player grid games-two player grid games, Q-learning, and Nash Q-learning. Chapter 5 discusses differential games, including multi player differential games, actor critique structure, adaptive fuzzy control and fuzzy interference systems, the evader pursuit game, and the defending a territory games. Chapter 6 discusses new ideas on learning within robotic swarms and the innovative idea of the evolution of personality traits. - Framework for understanding a variety of methods and approaches in multi-agent machine learning. - Discusses methods of reinforcement learning such as a number of forms of multi-agent Q-learning - Applicable to research professors and graduate students studying electrical and computer engineering, computer science, and mechanical and aerospace engineering
Artificial Intelligence by Artificial Intelligence may be defined as a collection of several analytic tools that collectively attempt to imitate life and has matured to a set of analytic tools that facilitate solving problems which were previously difficult or impossible to solve. In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the tools and applications of artificial intelligence. Topics discussed include the application of artificial intelligence in the oil and gas industry and in metal stamping die design; and using artificial intelligence to predict embryo quality and in biomedical imaging techniques.
Advanced Artificial Intelligence by 'Advanced Artificial Intelligence' consists of 16 chapters. The content of the book is novel, reflects the research updates in this field, and especially summarises the author's scientific efforts over many years.Earlham College • 801 National Road West • Richmond, Indiana 47374-4095
