Algorithmic Learning in a Random World describes recent theoretical and experimental developments in building computable approximations to Kolmogorov's algorithmic notion of randomness. Based on these approximations, a new set of machine learning algorithms have been developed that can be used to make predictions and to estimate their confidence and credibility in high-dimensional spaces under the usual assumption that the data are independent and identically distributed (assumption of randomness). Another aim of this unique monograph is to outline some limits of predictions:...

This book is devoted to two interrelated techniques used in solving some important problems in machine intelligence and pattern recognition, namely probabilistic reasoning and computational learning. It is divided into four parts, the first of which describes several new inductive principles and techniques used in computational learning. The second part contains papers on Bayesian and Causal Belief networks. Part three includes chapters on case studies and descriptions of several hybrid systems and the final part describes some related theoretical work in the field of probabilistic...

Data analysis and inference have traditionally been research areas of statistics. However, the need to electronically store, manipulate and analyze large-scale, high-dimensional data sets requires new methods and tools, new types of databases, new efficient algorithms, new data structures, etc. - in effect new computational methods.
This monograph presents new intelligent data management methods and tools, such as the support vector machine, and new results from the field of inference, in particular of causal modeling. In 11 well-structured chapters, leading experts map out the major...
