Data Mining: A Heuristic Approach

by Hussein Aly Abbass (Editor)

Real life problems are known to be messy, dynamic and multi-objective, and involve high levels of uncertainty and constraints. Because traditional problem-solving methods are no longer capable of handling this level of complexity, heuristic search methods have attracted increasing attention in recent years for solving such problems. Inspired by nature, biology, statistical mechanics, physics and neuroscience, heuristics techniques are used to solve many problems where traditional methods have failed. Data A Heuristic Approach will be a repository for the applications of these techniques in the area of data mining.
