This book results from the workshop on Supervised and Unsupervised Ensemble Methods and their Applications (briefly, SUEMA) in June 2007 in Girona, Spain. This workshop was held alongside the 3rd Iberian Conference on Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis.

Machine learning is the branch of artificial intelligence whose goal is to develop algorithms that add learning capabilities to computers. Ensembles are an integral part of machine learning. A typical ensemble includes several algorithms performing the task of prediction of the class label or the degree of class membership for a given input presented as a set of measurable characteristics, often called features. Feature Selection and Ensemble Methods for Bioinformatics: Algorithmic Classification and Implementations offers a unique perspective on machine learning aspects of microarray gene...
