This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th European Conference on Genetic Programming, EuroGP 2003, held in Essex, UK in April 2003. The 45 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 61 submissions. All current aspects of genetic programming and genetic algorithms are addressed, ranging from foundational, theoretical, and methodological issues to advanced applications in various fields.
This seminal text of Computer Science, the most cited book on the
subject, is now available for the first time in paperback.
Constraint satisfaction is a decision problem that involves finite
choices. It is ubiquitous. The goal is to find values for a set of
variables that will satisfy a given set of constraints. It is the
core of many applications in artificial intelligence, and has found
its application in many areas, such as planning and scheduling.
Because of its generality, most AI researchers should be able to
benefit from having good knowledge of techniques in this field.
Originally published in 1993, this now classic book was the first
attempt to define the scope of constraint satisfaction. It covers
both the theoretical and the implementation aspects of the subject.
It provides a framework for studying this field, relates different
research, and resolves ambiguity in a number of concepts and
algorithms in the literature. This seminal text is arguably the
most rigorous book in the field. All major concepts were defined in
First Order Predicate Calculus. Concepts defined this way are
precise and unambiguous.
Simulation in Computational Finance and Economics: Tools and
Emerging Applications presents a thorough collection of works,
covering several rich and highly productive areas of research
including Risk Management, Agent-Based Simulation, and Payment
Methods and Systems, topics that have found new motivations after
the strong recession experienced in the last few years. Despite the
fact that simulation is widely accepted as a prominent tool,
dealing with a simulation-based project requires specific
management abilities of the researchers. Economic researchers will
find an excellent reference to introduce them to the computational
simulation models. The works presented in this book can be used as
an inspiration for economic researchers interested in creating
their own computational models in their respective fields.
This book presents three applications, based on Machine Learning
and Genetic Programming, which are devoted to find useful patterns
to predict future events. The objective is to train the algorithms
by using past data to produce a classifier that identifies the
positive cases and discriminates the false alarms. This work uses
examples for predicting future opportunities in financial stock
markets in cases where the number of profitable opportunities is
scarce. However, when the number of positive examples is small in
comparison with the number of total cases, the identification of
useful patterns becomes a serious challenge. Nevertheless, the
objective of many real world problems, is precisely to identify the
minority class as the fraud detection problem, or medical diagnosis
and many other examples. The techniques of this book are suitable
to deal with imbalanced data sets, provide comprehensible results
that allow users to understand the factors that are involved in the
decision, as well as to generate a range of solutions that let the
user choose the best trade off according to their risk preferences.
