1. Ron Sun, Comp Ling: Sequence Learning by R. Sun & C. L. Giles (eds.)

 SEQUENCE LEARNING: PARADIGMS, ALGORITHMS, AND APPLICATIONS



 edited by: Ron Sun and C. L. Giles

 published by Springer-Verlag: LNAI 1828


This book is intended for use by scientists, engineers, and students
interested in sequence learning in artificial intelligence, neural
networks, and cognitive science. The book will introduce essential
algorithms and methods of sequence learning and further develop them
in various ways. With the help of these concepts, a variety of
applications will be examined. This book will allow the reader to
acquire an appreciation of the breadth and variety sequence learning
and its potential as an interesting area of research and
application. The reader is assumed to have basic knowledge of neural
networks and AI concepts.

Sequential behavior is essential to intelligence and a fundamental
part of human activities ranging from reasoning to language, and from
everyday skills to complex problem solving. Sequence learning is an
important component of learning in many task domains --- planning,
reasoning, robotics, natural language processing, speech recognition,
adaptive control, time series prediction, and so on. Naturally, there
are many different approaches towards sequence learning. These
approaches deal with somewhat differently formulated sequential
learning problems, and/or different aspects of sequence learning. This
book will provide an overall framework for this field of study.
