[...]... of computational intelligence (CI) In this context, the book includes artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, artificial immune systems, and fuzzy systems, which are respectively models of the following natural systems: biological neural networks, evolution, swarm behavior of social organisms, natural immune systems, and human thinking processes Why this book on computational. .. Introduction to Computational Intelligence A major thrust in algorithmic development is the design of algorithmic models to solve increasingly complex problems Enormous successes have been achieved through the modeling of biological and natural intelligence, resulting in so-called “intelligent systems” These intelligent algorithms include artificial neural networks, evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, ... algorithms form part of the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Just looking at this wide variety of AI techniques, AI can be seen as a combination of several research disciplines, for example, computer science, physiology, philosophy, sociology and biology But what is intelligence? Attempts to find definitions of intelligence still provoke heavy debate Dictionaries define intelligence as the ability to comprehend,... understand and profit from experience, to interpret intelligence, having the capacity for thought and reason (especially to a high degree) Other keywords that describe aspects of intelligence include creativity, skill, consciousness, emotion and intuition Can computers be intelligent? This is a question that to this day causes more debate than the definitions of intelligence In the mid-1900s, Alan Turing gave... introductory in nature, it does not shy away from details, and does present the mathematical foundations to the interested reader The intention of the book is not to provide thorough attention to all computational intelligence paradigms and algorithms, but to give an overview of the most popular and frequently used models For these models, detailed overviews of different implementations are given As such,... functional link NNs, product unit NNs, cascade NNs, and recurrent NNs Different supervised learning algorithms are discussed, including gradient descent, conjugate gradient methods, LeapFrog and Computational Intelligence: An Introduction, Second Edition A.P Engelbrecht c 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd xxix xxx Preface particle swarm optimization Chapter 4 covers unsupervised learning Different unsupervised... http://ci.cs.up.ac.za, provides algorithms to implement many of the CI models discussed in this book These algorithms are implemented in Java, and form part of an opensource library, CIlib, developed by the Computational Intelligence Research Group in the Department of Computer Science, University of Pretoria CIlib (http://cilib.sourceforge.net) is a generic framework for easy implementation of new CI algoithms,... 581 List of Figures Figure 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 3.9 3.10 4.1 4.2 4.3 4.4 5.1 6.1 7.1 7.2 7.3 7.4 7.5 7.6 7.7 8.1 9.1 Computational Intelligence Paradigms A Biological Neuron An Artificial Neuron An Artificial Neural Network An Artificial Neuron...
