Applications of Computational Intelligence in Concrete Technology (Smart and Intelligent Computing in Engineering)
by Sakshi GuptaComputational intelligence (CI) in concrete technology has not yet been fully explored worldwide because of some limitations in data sets. This book discusses the selection and separation of data sets, performance evaluation parameters for different types of concrete and related materials, and sensitivity analysis related to various CI techniques. Fundamental concepts and essential analysis for CI techniques such as artificial neural network, fuzzy system, support vector machine, and how they work together for resolving real-life problems, are explained. Features: It is the first book on this fast-growing research field. It discusses the use of various computation intelligence techniques in concrete technology applications. It explains the effectiveness of the methods used and the wide range of available techniques. It integrates a wide range of disciplines from civil engineering, construction technology, and concrete technology to computation intelligence, soft computing, data science, computer science, and so on. It brings together the experiences of contributors from around the world who are doing research in this field and explores the different aspects of their research. The technical content included is beneficial for researchers as well as practicing engineers in the concrete and construction industry.
Applications of Computational Intelligence in Data-Driven Trading
by Cris Doloc“Life on earth is filled with many mysteries, but perhaps the most challenging of these is the nature of Intelligence.” – Prof. Terrence J. Sejnowski, Computational Neurobiologist The main objective of this book is to create awareness about both the promises and the formidable challenges that the era of Data-Driven Decision-Making and Machine Learning are confronted with, and especially about how these new developments may influence the future of the financial industry. The subject of Financial Machine Learning has attracted a lot of interest recently, specifically because it represents one of the most challenging problem spaces for the applicability of Machine Learning. The author has used a novel approach to introduce the reader to this topic: The first half of the book is a readable and coherent introduction to two modern topics that are not generally considered together: the data-driven paradigm and Computational Intelligence. The second half of the book illustrates a set of Case Studies that are contemporarily relevant to quantitative trading practitioners who are dealing with problems such as trade execution optimization, price dynamics forecast, portfolio management, market making, derivatives valuation, risk, and compliance. The main purpose of this book is pedagogical in nature, and it is specifically aimed at defining an adequate level of engineering and scientific clarity when it comes to the usage of the term “Artificial Intelligence,” especially as it relates to the financial industry. The message conveyed by this book is one of confidence in the possibilities offered by this new era of Data-Intensive Computation. This message is not grounded on the current hype surrounding the latest technologies, but on a deep analysis of their effectiveness and also on the author’s two decades of professional experience as a technologist, quant and academic.

Applications of Computational Learning and IoT in Smart Road Transportation System (Springer Tracts on Transportation and Traffic #22)
by Hong Qin Saurav Mallik Tanvir Habib Sardar Subrata Nandi Munshi Yusuf Alam Arup RoyThis book discusses machine learning and AI in real-time image processing for road transportation and traffic management. There is a growing need for affordable solutions that make use of cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT). The efficiency, sustainability, and safety of transport networks can be greatly increased by implementing an Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning (ML)-based smart road transport system. Install sensors on roadways and intersections to gather data on traffic conditions in real time, such as vehicle density, speed, and flow. Predicting traffic patterns is done by analyzing the gathered data using machine learning algorithms. This can lessen traffic, enhance overall traffic management, and optimize traffic signal timings. Vehicles equipped with Internet of Things devices can have their health monitored in real time. Parameters including lane changes, brake condition, tire pressure, and engine performance can all be monitored by sensors. Based on the gathered data, ML models are used to forecast probable maintenance problems. By scheduling preventive maintenance, failures can be avoided and overall road safety can be increased. Create a smartphone app that would enable drivers to locate parking spots in their area. To forecast parking availability based on past data, the time of day, and special events, apply machine learning algorithms. Integrate Internet of Things (IoT) sensors into fleet vehicles to monitor their performance, location, and fuel consumption. To maximize fleet efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and plan routes more effectively, apply machine learning algorithms. Train ML models to forecast the quickest and most efficient routes with the help of historical data analysis. Route recommendations for drivers or fleet management systems can be constantly adjusted with real-time updates, which contain real-time data on road conditions, accidents, and construction. To guarantee smooth integration and efficient implementation, government organizations, transportation providers, and technology firms must work together.

Applications of Computational Tools in Biosciences and Medical Engineering (Advanced Structured Materials #71)
by Andreas Öchsner Holm AltenbachThis monograph presents the latest developments and applications of computational tools related to the biosciences and medical engineering. Computational tools such as the finite element methods, computer-aided design and optimization as well as visualization techniques such as computed axial tomography open completely new research fields with a closer joining of the engineering and bio/medical area. Nevertheless, there are still hurdles since both directions are based on quite different ways of education. Often even the "language" is sometimes different from discipline to discipline. This monograph reports the results of different multi-disciplinary research projects, for example, from the areas of scaffolds and synthetic bones, implants and medical devices and medical materials. It is also shown that the application of computational methods often necessitates mathematical and experimental methods.

Each contributor has successfully applied conceptual spaces theory as a modeling tool in their respective areas of expertise. Graduates as well as researchers in the areas of epistemology, linguistics, geometric knowledge representation, and the mathematical modeling of cognitive processes should find this book of particular interest.
Applications of Conditioning Theory (Psychology Revivals)
by Graham DaveyThe area of applied psychology known as behaviour modification or behaviour therapy had progressed remarkably in the ten years, prior to publication. Illustrative of this progress is the variety of therapeutic and behaviour management techniques now available to the applied psychologist. This volume, originally published in 1981, describes some of the important characteristics of this development, and in particular, the relationship between behaviour change techniques and the principles of conditioning theory that generated them. This brief gives rise to three main themes. First, the book describes some of the reasons underlying the adoption of the conditioning paradigm and the epistemological advantages of the paradigm for behaviour modification. Second, a number of chapters discuss the current trends in specific areas of applied psychology where conditioning principles play an important heuristic role. These chapters deal with the uses made of conditioning theory in the areas of mental handicap, psychiatric therapy, work organizations, and the treatment of brain injury. Third, later chapters discuss some of the more recent theoretical developments in the field of behaviour modification/therapy, in particular the drift from strict behaviouristic applications of conditioning principles to more cognitive ones.
