Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery with Evolutionary Algorithms: Natural Computing Series

Autor Alex A. Freitas
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mar 2012
This book addresses the integration of two areas of computer science, namely data mining and evolutionary algorithms. Both these areas have become increas­ ingly popular in the last few years, and their integration is currently an area of active research. In essence, data mining consists of extracting valid, comprehensible, and in­ teresting knowledge from data. Data mining is actually an interdisciplinary field, since there are many kinds of methods that can be used to extract knowledge from data. Arguably, data mining mainly uses methods from machine learning (a branch of artificial intelligence) and statistics (including statistical pattern recog­ nition). Our discussion of data mining and evolutionary algorithms is primarily based on machine learning concepts and principles. In particular, in this book we emphasize the importance of discovering comprehensible, interesting knowledge, which the user can potentially use to make intelligent decisions. In a nutshell, the motivation for applying evolutionary algorithms to data mining is that evolutionary algorithms are robust search methods which perform a global search in the space of candidate solutions (rules or another form of knowl­ edge representation). In contrast, most rule induction methods perform a local, greedy search in the space of candidate rules. Intuitively, the global search of evolutionary algorithms can discover interesting rules and patterns that would be missed by the greedy search.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"In the snappily-titled Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery with Evolutionary Algorithms, leading researcher Alex A Freitas introduces both data mining and evolutionary algorithms. … The aim is to introduce and address the key challenges to a high level of detail. With an understanding gleaned from this book, and source code available freely on the web, the world of data mining is your oyster." (Application Development Advisor, January/February, 2003)

This book integrates two areas of computer science, namely data mining and evolutionary algorithms. Both these areas have become increasingly popular in the last few years, and their integration is currently an area of active research. In general, data mining consists of extracting knowledge from data. In this book we particularly emphasize the importance of discovering comprehensible and interesting knowledge, which is potentially useful to the reader for intelligent decision making. In a nutshell, the motivation for applying evolutionary algorithms to data mining is that evolutionary algorithms are robust search methods which perform a global search in the space of candidate solutions (rules or another form of knowledge representation). In contrast, most rule induction methods perform a local, greedy search in the space of candidate rules. Intuitively, the global search of evolutionary algorithms can discover interesting rules and patterns that would be missed by the greedy search.
This book presents a comprehensive review of basic concepts on both data mining and evolutionary algorithms and discusses significant advances in the integration of these two areas. It is self-contained, explaining both basic concepts and advanced topics.
