This book offers a timely overview of fuzzy and rough set theories and methods. Based on selected contributions presented at the International Symposium on Fuzzy and Rough Sets, ISFUROS 2017, held in Varadero, Cuba, on October 24-26, 2017, the book also covers related approaches, such as hybrid rough-fuzzy sets and hybrid fuzzy-rough sets and granular computing, as well as a number of applications, from big data analytics, to business intelligence, security, robotics, logistics, wireless sensor networks and many more. It is intended as a source of inspiration for PhD students and researchers in the field, fostering not only new ideas but also collaboration between young researchers and institutions and established ones.
Feature engineering plays a vital role in big data analytics. Machine learning and data mining algorithms cannot work without data. Little can be achieved if there are few features to represent the underlying data objects, and the quality of results of those algorithms largely depends on the quality of the available features. Feature Engineering for Machine Learning and Data Analytics provides a comprehensive introduction to feature engineering, including feature generation, feature extraction, feature transformation, feature selection, and feature analysis and evaluation. The book presents key concepts, methods, examples, and applications, as well as chapters on feature engineering for majo...
For more than 20 years, the series of Conceptual Modeling – ER conferences has provided a forum for research communities and practitioners to present and - change research results and practical experiences in the ?elds of database design and conceptual modeling. Throughout the years, the scope of these conferences has extended from database design and speci?c topics of that area to more u- versal or re?ned conceptual modeling, organizing originally weak or ill-structured information or knowledge in more cultured ways by applying various kinds of principles, abstract models, and theories, for di?erent purposes. At the same time, many technically oriented approaches have been developed which...
This is the 12th volume in a series on information modelling and knowledge bases. The topics of the articles cover a wide variety of themes in the domain of information modelling, design and specification of information systems and knowledge bases, ranging from foundations and theories to systems construction and application studies. The contributions in this volume represent the following major themes: models in intelligent activity; concept modelling and conceptual modelling; conceptual modelling and information requirements specification; collections of concepts, knowledge base design, and database design; human-computer interaction and modelling; software engineering and modelling; and applications.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Perspectives in Business Informatics Research, BIR 2021. The conference was held during September 22-24, 2021. The 16 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 49 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: Technology adoption and acceptance during COVID-19 times; conceptual modeling for enterprise systems; enterprise modeling methods and frameworks; compliance and normative challenges; and empirical investigations on digital innovation and transformation prerequisites.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Perspectives in Business Informatics Research, BIR 2015, held in Tartu, Estonia, in August 2015. Overall, 49 submissions from 16 countries were rigorously reviewed by 47 members of the Program Committee representing 23 countries. The selected 16 full papers and 4 short papers are included in this volume. The conference theme was "making business information systems interoperable and adaptive in highly interconnected and changing contexts". The papers have been organized in topical sections on business information systems interoperability, business information system requirements and architecture, business process and decision management, business information systems development, and research in progress.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post conference proceedings of the 4th edition of the Semantic Web Evaluation Challenge, SemWebEval 2018, co-located with the 15th European Semantic Web conference, held in Heraklion, Greece, in June 2018. This book includes the descriptions of all methods and tools that competed at SemWebEval 2018, together with a detailed description of the tasks, evaluation procedures and datasets. The 18 revised full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. The contributions are grouped in the areas: the mighty storage challenge; open knowledge extraction challenge; question answering over linked data challenge; semantic sentiment analysis.
This is a reference guide on the design of relational databases. It applies the entity-relationship model to the conceptual level of database design, and combines this application with rigorous treatment of the design of relational schemes. The book presents practical design theory and methods in a unified way.
