دانلود کتاب برنامه های Metalearning برای یادگیری ماشین خودکار و داده کاوی

The first edition of this book was published in 2009, that is at the moment of writing already more than 10 years ago. As this area has progressed substantially, we decided to prepare the second edition. Our aim was to incorporate the most important advances, so that the new version would present an up-to-date account of the area and be useful to researchers, postgraduate students, and practitioners active in this area. What are the major changes? First, if we just compare the number of chapters of the two editions, we note that it has doubled. So did roughly the number of pages. We note that, at the time the first edition was written, the term AutoML was not yet around. So obviously we had to cover it in the new edition and also clarify its relationship to metalearning. Also, the automation of the design methods of chains of operations – nowadays referred to as pipelines or workflows – was in its infancy. So obviously we felt the need to update the existing material to keep up with this development. In recent years the research areas of AutoML and metalearning have attracted a great deal of attention from not only researchers, but also many artificial intelligence companies, including, for instance, Google and IBM. The issue of how one can exploit metalearning to improve AutoML systems is one of the crucial questions that many researchers are trying to answer nowadays. This book looks also into the future. As is usually the case, better understanding of some areas allows us to pose new research questions. We took care to include some in the respective chapters. The authors of the first edition were Pavel Brazdil, Christophe Giraud- Carrier, Carlos Soares, and Ricardo Vilalta. With the extensive developments in the area, we wanted to strengthen the team by inviting Joaquin Vanschoren and Jan N. van Rijn to join the project. Unfortunately, in the end, Christophe and Ricardo were unavailable to work on the new edition. Nevertheless, the authors of the second edition are very grateful for their contributions at the onset of the project.
