A large international conference on Advances in Machine Learning and Data Analysis was held in UC Berkeley, California, USA, October 22-24, 2008, under the auspices of the World Congress on Engineering and Computer Science (WCECS 2008). This volume contains sixteen revised and extended research articles written by prominent researchers participating in the conference. Topics covered include Expert system, Intelligent decision making, Knowledge-based systems, Knowledge extraction, Data analysis tools, Computational biology, Optimization algorithms, Experiment designs, Complex system identification, Computational modeling, and industrial applications. Advances in Machine Learning and Data Analysis offers the state of the art of tremendous advances in machine learning and data analysis and also serves as an excellent reference text for researchers and graduate students, working on machine learning and data analysis.
From the reviews: "This is a collection of papers from a large international conference on advances in machine learning and data analysis ... .
