Soon on your screens: The LION way, Version 4.0
Machine Learning plus Intelligent Optimization
Roberto Battiti and Mauro Brunato
Five years after the latest published Version 3.0, and after the strong coupling between Mathematical Optimization and Machine Learning pioneered by LION is rapidly gaining momentum in different research and business projects, we are now working on Version 4.0. As for the previous versions we are searching for contributors in different aspects: reading and commenting on revised chapters, suggesting new topics, potentially writing new chapters, demo programs, images, etc. If interested, please email
roberto.battiti ((AT)) unitn.it
to signal your interest and we will share the work-in-progress with you. When finished, also Version 4.0 will be available free of charge.
This 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 optimal or improving solutions).
More and more innovative people can
now master the source of power arising from LION techniques
to solve problems, improve businesses, create
new 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).
