Kernel methods are a new family of techniques with sound theoretical grounds. They have been shown to be powerful approaches to pattern classification problems. However, many of the newly created kernel methods are far from perfect, and extensions and improvements are always required to make them even more effective. This book investigates one important class of the kernel methods, the least square support vector machines (LS-SVM), and enhances its performance extensively. In particular, the LS-SVM is enhanced in the contexts of four sub-problems related to solving the pattern...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Intelligent Data Engineering and Automated Learning, IDEAL 2013, held in Hefei, China, in October 2013. The 76 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 130 submissions. These papers provided a valuable collection of latest research outcomes in data engineering and automated learning, from methodologies, frameworks and techniques to applications. In addition to various topics such as evolutionary algorithms, neural networks, probabilistic modelling, swarm intelligent,...
