Research Advances in Intelligent Computing

自從電腦和其他類似的機器發明以來，科學家和研究人員一直在努力提升它們執行各種任務的能力。因此，從多樣的工作領域、多功能工作、處理速度和體積縮小等方面來看，電腦的能力正在以指數級增長。現在，我們正致力於使這些機器變得像人類一樣智能。人工智能（AI）作為一種使計算機或計算機軟件以與人類思考方式相似的方式思考的方法應運而生。AI受到人類大腦研究的啟發，包括人類思考、學習、決策和解決問題時的行為。這項研究的成果是開發智能軟件和系統或智能計算（IC）的基礎。

IC系統具有推理、學習、解決問題、感知和語言智能的能力。IC系統包括AI技術以及其他新興技術，使系統變得智能。IC的應用在計算機科學的幾乎每個子領域中都有所見，例如網絡、軟件工程、遊戲、自然語言處理、計算機視覺、圖像處理、數據科學、機器人技術、專家系統和安全性。如今，IC也在解決各種不同領域的複雜問題上非常有用，例如在醫學科學中預測疾病、在農業科學中預測土地肥沃度或作物產量、在經濟學中預測市場增長以及天氣預報。

基於這些原因，本書介紹了AI技術在IC的框架下的進展。在這個背景下，本書包括在機器學習、神經網絡、深度學習、演化算法、遺傳算法、群體智能、模糊系統等領域進行的最新研究。本書討論了與IC相關的最新理論、算法、模擬和實施方面的進展。
