The LION way, Version 3.0
Machine Learning plus Intelligent Optimization
Roberto Battiti and Mauro Brunato
This newly revised book presents two topics which are in most cases separated:
machine learning
(the design of flexible models from data) and intelligent optimization (the automated creation and selection
of improving solutions).
More and more innovative people (lionhearted?) can
now master the source of power arising from LION techniques
to solve problems, improve businesses, create
new prescriptive analytics applications.
Powerful tools are not only for cognoscenti
and this book does a serious effort to distinguish the paradigm shift
brought about by machine learning
and intelligent optimization methods from the fine details,
and it does not refrain from presenting
concrete examples and vivid sticky images (made to stick to your mind).
