Handbook Of Research On Machine Learning Applications and Trends: Algorithms, Methods and Techniques (2 Volumes)

The machine learning approach provides a useful tool when the amount of data is very large and a model is not available to explain the generation and relation of the data set. The Handbook of Research on Machine Learning Applications and Trends: Algorithms, Methods, and Techniques provides a set of practical applications for solving problems and applying various techniques in automatic data extraction and setting. A defining collection of field advancements, this Handbook of Research fills the gap between theory and practice, providing a strong reference for academicians, researchers, and practitioners.

Emilio Soria received an MS degree in physics (1992) and a PhD degree (1997) in electronics engineering from the Universitat de Valencia (Spain). He has been an assistant professor at the University of Valencia since 1997. His research is centered mainly in the analysis and applications of adaptive and neural systems.
