Virtual Reality in Healthcare
In our modern 21st century, daily life would be unthinkable without computers. Multimedia and virtual reality are useful for people with special... -
Access to Information on Demand by the aid of Digital Talking Books
This chapter addresses the concept and the fundamental ideas of the digital talking book (DTB), with a particular focus on DTBs in the DAISY format.... -
Measuring User Satisfaction in Web Searching
Search engines are among the most popular as well as useful services on the web. But the problem we face is due to the large number of search engines... -
A Fuzzy Method for Learning Simple Boolean Formulas from Examples
We discuss a method for inferring Boolean functions from examples. The method is inherently fuzzy in two respects: i) we work with a pair of formulas... -
Soft Computing Paradigms for Web Access Pattern Analysis
Web servers play a crucial role to convey knowledge and information to the end users. With the popularity of the WWW, discovering the hidden... -
Ontology-based Fuzzy Decision Agent and Its Application to Meeting Scheduling Support System
A Fuzzy Decision Agent (FDA) based on personal ontology for Meeting Scheduling Support System (MSSS) is proposed in this chapter. In this system,... -
D-GridMST: Clustering Large Distributed Spatial Databases
In this paper, we will propose a novel distributable clustering algorithm, called Distributed-GridMST (D–GridMST for short), which deals with large... -
Data Mining of Missing Persons Data
This paper presents the results of analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of data mining techniques to predict the outcome for missing persons cases.... -
Modeling of Fuzzy Data
Fuzzy data are imprecise data obtained from measurements, perception or by interviewing people. Typically, those data are expressed in linguistic... -
Fuzzy Statistical Analysis and Estimation
In social science research, many decisions, evaluations, or purposes of evaluations are done by surveys or questionnaires to seek for people’s... -
Rough Set Theory with Applications to Data Mining
This paper is an introduction to rough set theory with an emphasis on applications to data mining. First, consistent data are discussed, including... -
2 Hybrid Estimation at a Glance
One of our test applications is a simulation study of the BIO-Plex Test Complex at NASA Johnson Space Center, a five chamber facility for evaluating... -
4 Hybrid Estimation
Whenever we automate a complex physical artifact it is essential to know its operational state at each time. However, it is not always possible or... -
Use of Fuzzy Feature Descriptions to Recognize Handwritten Alphanumeric Characters
The main challenge in handwritten character recognition involves the development of a method that can generate descriptions of the handwritten... -
A Longitudinal Comparison of Supervised and Unsupervised Learning Approaches to Iso-Resource Grou** for Acute Healthcare in Australia
Estimating resource consumption of hospital patients is important for various tasks such as hospital funding, and management and allocation of... -
Reinforcement Learning: A Brief Overview
Learning techniques can be usefully grouped by the type of feedback that is available to the learner. A commonly drawn distinction is that between... -
An Analysis of Continuous-Valued Representations for Learning Classifier Systems
Learning Classifier Systems [11] typically use a ternary representation to encode the environmental condition that a classifier matches. However,... -
Tests of Hypothesis: Means
In many expositions of fuzzy methods, fuzzy techniques are described as an alternative to a more traditional statistical approach. In this chapter,... -
Fuzzy Time Series Analysis and Forecasting
The problem of system modeling and identification has attracted considerable attention during the past decades mostly because of a large number of... -
Data Driven Fuzzy Modelling with Neural Networks
Extraction of models for complex systems from numerical data of behavior is studied. In particular, systems representable as sets of fuzzy if-then...
