Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning - IDEAL 2007: 8th International Conference Proceedings

The proceedings contain 116 papers. The topics discussed include: support function machines; group decision making with triangular fuzzy linguistic variables; advanced forecasting and classification technique for condition monitoring of rotating machinery; a new recurring multistage evolutionary algorithm for solving problems efficiently; exploration of a text collection and identification of topics by clustering; fuzzy ridge regression with non symmetric membership functions and quadratic models; load forecasting with support vector machines and semi-parametric method; support kernel machine-based active learning to find labels and a proper kernel simultaneously; knowledge extraction from unstructured surface meshes; the outer impartation information content of rules and rule sets; an engineering approach to data mining projects; and a framework to analyze biclustering results on microarray experiments.
