As perception stands for the acquisition of a real world representation by interaction with an environment, learning is the modification of this internal representation.This book highlights the relation between perception and learning and describes the influence of the learning in the interaction with the environment.Besides, this volume contains a series of applications of both machine learning and perception, where the former is often embedded in the latter and vice-versa.Among the topics covered, there are visual perception for autonomous robots, model generation of visual patterns, attentional reasoning, genetic approaches and various categories of neural networks.

This book presents some of the most recent research results in the area of machine learning and robot perception. The chapters represent new ways of solving real-world problems. The book covers topics such as intelligent object detection, foveated vision systems, online learning paradigms, reinforcement learning for a mobile robot, object tracking and motion estimation, 3D model construction, computer vision system and user modelling using dialogue strategies. This book will appeal to researchers, senior undergraduate/postgraduate students, application engineers and scientists.

Introduces machine learning and its algorithmic paradigms, explaining the principles behind automated learning approaches and the considerations underlying their usage.

This unique compendium discusses some core ideas for the development and implementation of machine learning from three different perspectives — the statistical perspective, the artificial neural network perspective and the deep learning methodology.The useful reference text represents a solid foundation in machine learning and should prepare readers to apply and understand machine learning algorithms as well as to invent new machine learning methods. It tells a story outgoing from a perceptron to deep learning highlighted with concrete examples, including exercises and answers for the students.Related Link(s)
