Petra Perner Libri

This is the first edited book that deals with the special topic of signals and images within Case-Based Reasoning (CBR). New strategies are needed that can adapt to changing environmental conditions, signal variation, user needs and process requirements.

Despite being a young field of research and development, data mining has proved to be a successful approach to extracting knowledge from huge collections of structured digital data collection as usually stored in databases. Whereas data mining was done in early days primarily on numerical data, nowadays multimedia and Internet applications drive the need to develop data mining methods and techniques that can work on all kinds of data such as documents, images, and signals. This book introduces the basic concepts of mining multimedia data and demonstrates how to apply these methods in various application fields. It is written for students, ambitioned professionals from industry and medicine, and for scientists who want to contribute R& D work to the field or apply this new technology.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Machine Learning and Data Mining in Pattern Recognition, MLDM 2001, held in Leipzig, Germany in July 2001. The 26 revised full papers presented together with two invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the proceedings. The papers are organized in topical sections on case-based reasoning and associative memory; rule induction and grammars; clustering and conceptual clustering; data mining on signals, images, and spatio-temporal data; nonlinear function learning and neural net based learning; learning for handwriting recognition; statistical and evolutionary learning; and content-based image retrieval.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th Industrial Conference on Advances in Data Mining, ICDM 2015, held in Hamburg, Germany, in July 2015. The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The topics range from theoretical aspects of data mining to applications of data mining, such as in multimedia data, in marketing, in medicine and agriculture, and in process control, industry and society.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Machine Learning and Data Mining in Pattern Recognition, MLDM 2015, held in Hamburg, Germany in July 2015. The 41 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 123 submissions. The topics range from theoretical topics for classification, clustering, association rule and pattern mining to specific data mining methods for the different multimedia data types such as image mining, text mining, video mining and Web mining.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th Industrial Conference on Advances in Data Mining, ICDM 2016, held in New York, NY, USA, in July 2016. The 33 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 100 submissions. The topics range from theoretical aspects of data mining to applications of data mining, such as in multimedia data, in marketing, in medicine, and in process control, industry, and society.
