Diploma Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject Computer Science - Theory, grade: 1,0, University of Leipzig, 127 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Constraint programming is an area of Artificial Intelligence which has many applications. This thesis applies its techniques to a new kind of problem - the rendering of online retailer websites. First, in-depth introductions to constraint programming and the problem of rendering a shop website will be given. A prototypical implementation of a constraint problem solver and a system to solve and illustrate the problem will...

A successful integration of constraint programming and data mining has the potential to lead to a new ICT paradigm with far reaching implications. It could change the face of data mining and machine learning, as well as constraint programming technology. It would not only allow one to use data mining techniques in constraint programming to identify and update constraints and optimization criteria, but also to employ constraints and criteria in data mining and machine learning in order to discover models compatible with prior knowledge.

This book reports on some key results obtained...

This open access book presents the first comprehensive overview of general methods in Automated Machine Learning (AutoML), collects descriptions of existing systems based on these methods, and discusses the first series of international challenges of AutoML systems.
