Computational Intelligence Applications in Business Intelligence and Big Data Analytics

There are a number of books on computational intelligence (CI), but they tend to cover a broad range of CI paradigms and algorithms rather than provide an in-depth exploration in learning and adaptive mechanisms. This book sets its focus on CI based architectures, modeling, case studies and applications in big data analytics, and business intelligence. The intended audiences of this book are scientists, professionals, researchers, and academicians who deal with the new challenges and advances in the specific areas mentioned above. Designers and developers of applications in these areas can learn from other experts and colleagues through this book.

在計算智能（CI）領域有許多書籍，但它們往往涵蓋了廣泛的CI範式和算法，而不是深入探討學習和適應機制。本書專注於基於CI的架構、建模、案例研究和大數據分析以及商業智能的應用。本書的目標讀者是處理上述特定領域中的新挑戰和進展的科學家、專業人士、研究人員和學者。這些領域中的應用程序的設計師和開發人員可以通過本書向其他專家和同事學習。
