In the year 1900 at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris David Hilbert delivered what is now considered the most important talk ever given in the history of mathematics, proposing 23 major problems worth working at in the future. One hundred years later the impact of this talk is still strong: some problems have been solved, new problems have been added, but the direction once set - identify the most important problems and focus on them - is still actual.

Computational Intelligence (CI) is used as a name to cover many existing branches of science, with artificial...

The purpose of these notes is to give some simple tools and pictures to physicists and ' chemists working on the many-body problem. Abstract thinking and seeing have much in common - we say "I see" meaning "I understand" , for example. Most of us prefer to have a picture of an abstract object. The remarkable popularity of the Feynman diagrams, and other diagrammatic approaches to many-body problem derived thereof, may be partially due to this preference. Yet, paradoxically, the concept of a linear space, as fundamental to quantum physics as it is, has never been cast in a graphical form. We...

The two-volume set LNCS 7552 ] 7553 constitutes the proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, ICANN 2012, held in Lausanne, Switzerland, in September 2012. The 162 papers included in the proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 247 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: theoretical neural computation; information and optimization; from neurons to neuromorphism; spiking dynamics; from single neurons to networks; complex firing patterns; movement and motion; from sensation to perception; object and face recognition;...

The book constitutes the proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks, ICANN 2014, held in Hamburg, Germany, in September 2014.
