Can computers be intelligent? If yes! Then how to represent intelligence? Thedevelopment of digital computers made possible the invention of human engineeredsystems that show intelligent behaviour. Now a days, the researchers are active with thestudies applying computational intelligence (i.e. numerical methods for implementing anintelligent behaviour) to understand the complex and uncertain behaviour of real-worldprocesses. Despite advancement in neuro/fuzzy modeling techniques, the field still lacksa mathematical framework for the design and analysis of intelligent systems to deal withthe real-world problems considering the underlying uncertainties in a sensible way. Thisthesis presents a fuzzy rules based system for modeling the relationships between inputsand output data in the presence of uncertainties. The fuzzy system is designed byseparating the uncertainties from the data using fuzzy filtering algorithms. A stochasticmodeling of the uncertainties helps in designing the fuzzy system to approximate theuncertain relationships. The proposed fuzzy model offers the followings.

Denne bog, er drømmen om et bedre sundhedsvæsen, om et sammenhængende sundhedsvæsen.I dag har en patient mange journaler, som ikke er sammekoblet, og som ikke er tilgængelige for de fleste behandlere.Kernen i denne bog er princippet om, at en patient kun skal have en journal. Denne journal skal ligge centralt. Den må nødvendigvis være opsplittet i del-journaler, ellers drukner man i data. Disse del-journaler kan bindes sammen i patientforløb. Herved, vil alle der behandler patienten, umiddelbart vide hvilke aktive forløb patienten har. De vi altid med et enkle blik kunne se, hvor patienten er i et forløb, hvad der er fundet, hvad der er gjort, hvad der er planlagt, og ikke mindst hvad der ikke er gjort i forløb.

The book will cover the different algorithms used in machine learning according to its different types. We'll cover algorithms for supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. In other words we'll go over how machine learning is task driven (e.g. predicting the next value), data driven (e.g. identify and classify customer clusters), and is able to learn from its own mistakes.We'll also get a bit technical-just slightly when we cover computational learning theory, big data, statistics, learning and optimization, Bayesian networks, support vector machines, genetic algorithms, and data mining. Again, we have tried to the best of our abilities to simplify these concepts for the lay man.At the end of this book we have also recommended related AI technologies, open source tools, and programming languages. Well, that is if you are interested to learn how to actually develop this technology or to at least be able to understand its more technical features.Needless to say, machine learning is a new and exciting field with a lot of beneficial applications. It facilitates more accurate medical diagnosis, it can simplify product marketing, create more accurate sales forecasts, improves the precision of many financial rules, simplifies documentation that is time intensive, fine tune predictive maintenance, and a host of other benefits.

From the 27th of July until the 12th of August 2012 the games of the 30th Olympiad took place in London. The 4th of August was a particularly special day in the history of the Olympics as it was the day that the heats of the men¿s 400m took place. There is a reason the men¿s 400m heats at the 2012 London Olympics were arguably more special than any that had gone before. South African runner Oscar Pistorius became the first athlete to compete at the Olympic Games while running on prosthetic limbs. Pistorius is a double below the knee amputee (T43 under the Paralympic classification system) who runs on Jshaped carbon fibre blades. He represents a fusion of humanity and technology that will become an increasingly pressing issue for the sporting arena in coming years

A gripping new investigation into the underbelly of digital technology, which reveals not only how costly the virtual world is, but how damaging it is to the environment.If digital technology were a country, it would be the third-highest consumer of electricity behind China and the United States.Every year, streaming technology generates as much greenhouse gas as Spain - close to 1 per cent of global emissions.One Google search uses as much electricity as a lightbulb left on for up to two minutes.It turns out that the 'dematerialised' digital world, essential for communicating, working, and consuming, is much more tangible than we would like to believe. Today, it absorbs 10 per cent of the world's electricity and represents nearly 4 per cent of the planet's carbon dioxide emissions. We are struggling to understand these impacts, as they are obscured to us in the mirage of 'the cloud'.The result of an investigation carried out over two years on four continents, The Dark Cloud reveals the anatomy of a technology that is virtual only in name. Under the guise of limiting the impact of humans on the planet, it is already asserting itself as one of the major environmental challenges of the twenty-first century.

Terrorism, global pandemics, climate change, wars and all the major threats of our age have been targets of online extremism. The same social media occupying the heartland of our social world leaves us vulnerable to cybercrime, electoral fraud and the 'fake news' fuelling the rise of far-right violence and hate speech. In the face of widespread calls for action, governments struggle to reform legal and regulatory frameworks designed for an analogue age. And what of our rights as citizens? As politicians and lawyers run to catch up to the future as it disappears over the horizon, who guarantees our right to free speech, to free and fair elections, to play video games, to surf the Net, to believe 'fake news'? Rethinking Social Media and Extremism offers a broad range of perspectives on violent extremism online and how to stop it. As one major crisis follows another and a global pandemic accelerates our turn to digital technologies, attending to the issues raised in this book becomes ever more urgent. -- Publisher.

Vores jobs bliver måske overtaget af kunstig intelligens. Vi bekymrer os om ChatGPT og andre AI-typer og deres konsekvenser for blandt andet uddannelse, troværdighed, menneskelighed, rettigheder og etik. Den informationsteknologiske udvikling ligner ikke noget, som verden før har set mage til. Derfor er det vigtigere end nogensinde at stille de grundlæggende filosofiske spørgsmål til den teknologiske udvikling.Dem stiller Einar Duenger Bøhn i Teknologiens filosofi:Skal vi sætte grænser for teknologiens udvikling? Og hvor og hvordan skal de mon sættes? Hvor langt kan og skal vi drive den teknologiske udvikling? Hvad er teknologi, information og kunstig intelligens? Er det muligt at skabe kunstig bevidsthed og kunstige personer? Vil teknologien tage fuldstændig over for os mennesker? Er vi mennesker blot et skridt på vejen mod en ny og forbedret teknologisk kundskab? Spørgsmålene skal stilles for bedre at forstå, hvad vi mennesker er og bør være, samt hvilken situation vi befinder os i, og som vi bør se for os fremadrettet. Teknologiens filosofi stiller, afklarer og tænker videre over disse og lignende spørgsmål om teknologiens eksistens, væsen og fremtid.

This book aims to help research practitioners in technology science avoid some of the most common pitfalls or at least make them easier to overcome. Many technology scientists put too little weight on how they conduct their work and should be able to become significantly better at what they do by being more aware of methodological issues. The book differs from other related works in two main respects: First, by focusing on creating, producing, or inventing new artifacts ¿ in other words, technology science. Second, by describing a general approach to technology science linking together specialized research methods.The book consists of 14 chapters. Following the first introductory chapter are two chapters providing the foundation for the rest of the book. These chapters clarify the meaning of key concepts and describe an overall process for technology science. The subsequent chapters 4¿11 are about this process. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 concern problem analysis, research planning, and hypothesis formulation. The following five chapters then aim at evaluation. Chapter 7 introduces the concept of prediction, which plays a fundamental role in evaluating hypotheses. Chapters 8¿10 address the evaluation of universal, existential, and statistical hypotheses. Chapter 11 concerns quality assurance and introduces the concepts of validity and reliability. Next, in chapters 12 and 13, we address publishing with an emphasis on the specifics of technology science. Eventually the last chapter, chapter 14, briefly introduces the philosophy of science.The book systematically collects in the form of suggestions, recommendations, and guidelines the author¿s 35-year experience as a researcher, author and reviewer in technology science. It is written for anyone working in technology science, from master¿s students to researchers and supervisors.
