One purpose of the book is not to consider these methodologies separately, but rather to consider how they can be used cooperatively to better represent the multiplicity of modes of information. Topics in the book include representation of imperfect knowledge, fundamental issues in uncertainty, reasoning, information retrieval, learning and mining, as well as various applications.
Key Features:
• Tools for construction of intelligent systems• Contributions by world leading experts• Fundamental issues and applications• New technologies for web searching• Methods for modeling uncertain information• Future directions in web technologies• Transversal to methods and domains
