Machine Intelligence: Learning, Inference, and Evolution

這本書將為大學和學院的高年級本科生以及從業人員提供機器學習、模糊系統和演化算法的介紹。該書旨在涵蓋機器智能不同方面的主要方案、方法和算法，並為目標讀者全面介紹智能技術。內容將包括模糊系統、強化學習、演化算法和群體智能，以及神經網絡、支持向量機、概率、決策樹等。這將有助於建立“智能”不僅僅是“學習”的概念。

Hamid R. Tizhoosh received the MASc degree in electrical engineering, with a major in computer science, from University of Technology, Aachen, Germany, in 1995. He received his PhD from University of Magdeburg, Germany, in 2000. He was a member of the European Union projects INFOCUS and ARROW, with a goal to improve radiation therapy for cancer treatment. In 2001, he was a research associate at the Knowledge and Intelligence Systems Laboratory, University of Toronto, where he worked on dynamic bandwidth allocation using intelligent techniques. Since September 2001, he is a faculty member in Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo. His research encompasses computational intelligence, computer vision and medical imaging. Dr. Tizhoosh has extensive industrial experience. Among others, he has worked with Management of Intelligent Technologies GmbH (Aachen, Germany), Image Processing Systems Inc. (Photon Dynamics Inc., Markham), Medipattern Corporation (Toronto) and Segasist Technologies (Toronto). Education is another focal point of Dr. Tizhoosh's activities. He regularly organizes the "Observations and Free Inquiries" seminars to encourage dialogues on education, violence and freedom. Dr. Tizhoosh is the author of 2 books, 14 book chapters, and more than 100 journal and conference papers. He has also filed 4 patents in collaboration with WatCo (Waterlo Commercialization Office).

Hamid R. Tizhoosh於1995年從德國亞琛科技大學獲得電機工程碩士學位，專攻計算機科學。他於2000年從德國馬格德堡大學獲得博士學位。他曾是歐盟項目INFOCUS和ARROW的成員，旨在改善癌症治療的放射療法。2001年，他在多倫多大學的知識和智能系統實驗室擔任研究助理，研究使用智能技術進行動態帶寬分配。自2001年9月以來，他一直是滑鐵盧大學系統設計工程系的教職員。他的研究涵蓋計算智能、計算機視覺和醫學影像。Tizhoosh博士在工業界擁有豐富的經驗。他曾與德國管理智能技術有限公司（亞琛）、圖像處理系統公司（Photon Dynamics Inc.，馬克姆）以及Medipattern Corporation（多倫多）和Segasist Technologies（多倫多）合作。教育是Tizhoosh博士活動的另一個重點。他定期組織“觀察和自由探究”研討會，以促進關於教育、暴力和自由的對話。Tizhoosh博士是2本書、14篇書籍章節和100多篇期刊和會議論文的作者。他還與滑鐵盧商業化辦公室（WatCo）合作申請了4項專利。
