Evolutionnary Computation in Data Mining

The series Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing contains publications on various areas within so-called soft computing which include fuzzy sets, rough sets, neural networks, evolutionary computations, probabilistic and evidential reasoning, multivalued logic, and related fields. The publications within Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing are primarily monographs and edited volumes. They cover significant recent developments in the field, both of a foundational and applicable character. Contact the series editor by e-mail: kacprzyk@ibspan.waw.pl

This carefully edited book reflects and advances the state of the art in the area of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery with Evolutionary Algorithms. It emphasizes the utility of different evolutionary computing tools to various facets of knowledge discovery from databases, ranging from theoretical analysis to real-life applications. Evolutionary Computation in Data Mining provides a balanced mixture of theory, algorithms and applications in a cohesive manner, and demonstrates how the different tools of evolutionary computation can be used for solving real-life problems in data mining and bioinformatics.
