This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence, PReMI 2011, held in Moscow, Russia in June/July 2011. The 65 revised papers presented together with 5 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 140 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on pattern recognition and machine learning; image analysis; image and video information retrieval; natural language processing and text and data mining; watermarking, steganography and biometrics; soft computing and applications; clustering and network analysis; bio and chemo analysis; and document image processing.
Images have always been very important in human life. Their applications range from primitive communication between humans of all ages to advanced technologies in the industrial, medical and military field. The increased possibilities to capture and analyze images have contributed to the largeness that the scientific field of "image processing" has become today. Many techniques are being applied, including soft computing. "Soft Computing in Image Processing: Recent Advances" follows the edited volumes "Fuzzy Techniques in Image Processing" (volume 52, published in 2000) and "Fuzzy Filters for Image Processing" (volume 122, published in 2003), and covers a wide range of both practical and theoretical applications of soft computing in image processing. The 16 excellent chapters of the book have been grouped into five parts: Applications in Remote Sensing, Applications in Image Retrieval, Applications in Image Analysis, Other Applications, and Theoretical Contributions. The focus of the book is on practical applications, which makes it interesting for every researcher that is involved with soft computing, image processing, or both scientific branches.
Transparent Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems facilitate understanding of the decision-making process and provide opportunities in various aspects of explaining AI models. This book provides up-to-date information on the latest advancements in the field of explainable AI, which is a critical requirement of AI, Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) models. It provides examples, case studies, latest techniques, and applications from domains such as healthcare, finance, and network security. It also covers open-source interpretable tool kits so that practitioners can use them in their domains. Features: Presents a clear focus on the application of explainable AI systems while tacklin...
This book presents high-quality, peer-reviewed papers from International Conference on Advanced Communications and Machine Intelligence (MICA 2024), hosted by Mahindra University, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, during 18–19 October 2024. The book includes all areas of advanced communications and machine intelligence. The book is useful for academicians, scientists, researchers from industry, research scholars, and students working in these areas.
This book examines the challenges of urbanization in the global south and the linkages between urbanization, economic development and urban poverty from the perspectives of cities in Asia, Africa and Latin America. It focuses on various aspects of urbanization ranging from food security and public services like sanitation, water and electricity to the finances of cities and externalities associated with the urbanization process. The volume also highlights the importance of participatory urban governance for cities in India with comparative perspectives from other countries. It further focuses on the urbanization of poverty, livelihood in urban areas, overconsumption and nutrition and ecology. Based on primary data, the chapters in the volume review trends, opportunities, challenges, governance and strategies of several countries at different levels of urbanization, with several case studies from India. This multidisciplinary volume will be of great interest to researchers and students of development studies, sociology, economics and urban planning and policy. It will also be useful for policymakers, think tanks and practitioners in the area of urbanization.
From Popular Movements to Rebellion: The Naxalite Decade argues that without an understanding of the popular sources of the rebellion of that time, the age of the Naxalite revolt will remain beyond our understanding. Many of the chapters of the book bring out for the first time unknown peasant heroes and heroines of that era, analyses the nature of the urban revolt, and shows how the urban revolt of that time anticipated street protests and occupy movements that were to shake the world forty-fifty years later. This is a moving and poignant book. Some of the essays are deeply reflective about why the movement failed and was at the end alienated. Ranabir Samaddar says that, the Naxalite Moveme...
This volume contains the latest in the series of ICAPR proceedings on the state-of-the-art of different facets of pattern recognition. These conferences have already carved out a unique position among events attended by the pattern recognition community. The contributions tackle open problems in the classic fields of image and video processing, document analysis and multimedia object retrieval as well as more advanced topics in biometrics speech and signal analysis. Many of the papers focus both on theory and application driven basic research pattern recognition.
Also includes the legal status of children vis-a-vis their employment in hosiery industry of Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu.
