CALL FOR CHAPTERS: INTELLIGENT DATA ANALYSIS BOOKS

IDAL has recently launched the Call for Chapters for two books related with Intelligent Data Analysis. The Call for Chapters, available also in http://www.intelligentdataanalysis.net , explains, in detail, the objectives for these manuscripts as well as suggests some possible topics to which you may wish to contribute. You are, however, not limited to these topics. Please feel free to add any topics that you think are critical issues in Intelligent Data Analysis.

The books will be titled “Medical Applications of Intelligent Data Analysis: Research Advancements” and “Intelligent Data Analysis for Real-Life Applications: Theory and Practice”, gathering practical applications and medical applications of IDA.

These books are scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the Information Science Reference (formerly Idea Group Reference), Medical Information Science Reference, Business Science Reference, and Engineering Science Reference imprints. For additional information regarding the publisher, please visit www.igi-global.com. This publication is anticipated to be released in late 2011.

If you need further information, or have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We really hope you will be able to contribute to the handbook, and thank you very much for your time. We appreciate your consideration of this invitation and hope to hear from you soon!

IDAL AT IEEE SSCI 2011

JIE3CISose D. Martin collaborates at IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence – SSCI 2011, collaborating in session “Analysis of data for health”, dentro del simposio IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM 2011), with Alfredo Vellido,  (Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, Barcelona, Spain) , Jose Martín-Guerrero, (University of Valencia, Spain) and Roberto Tagliaferri, (University of Salerno, Italy).

IDAL AT ESANN 2011

IDAL member José D. Martín collaborates in ESANN 2011, European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks,Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning, that will be held in Bruges (Belgium) in 27 – 29 April 2011. Prof. José D. Martín collaborates in orgnaizing the session “Seeing is believing: The importance of visualization in real-world machine learning applications”  with Alfredo Vellido (Technical Univ. of Catalonia, Spain), Paulo J. G. Lisboa (Liverpool John Moores Univ., UK), and Fabrice Rossi (Télécom ParisTech, France).

AVOCADO WITH MOZZARELLA: DISH OF KINGS!

Experts from Michelin Guide have been today studying the dishes served at the Wedding Reception of IDAL member Juan Gomez “Juanito” (“Little John”). The international commitee is quite close to declare the Avocado with Mozzarella as a dish of kings, although the Italian experts are still renuent to grant the award of “Cuisine des Rois” to Juan Gómez. The final decission, in hands of Italian subsection of Michelin Guide, will be available in IDAL web as soon as it becomes public. Intelligent Data Analysis is being applied to predict the result.

IDAL MEMBER GETS IN TROUBLE

IDAL member Juan Gómez has commited an irreparable error that will probably ruin his life: he has married. Although IDAL members, experts in intelligent data analysis, have been intensively training neural networks, SOMs and even Bayesian Networks that undoubtely proved that marriage is the first cause of divorce, no rational nor sentimental reason has changed his mind, and has got married with Maíder in his hometown, Sagunt. IDAL members have fought until the last moment, bribing everybody hoping to get him kidnapped and saved of the claws of marriage, but the efforts have been useless.

We only can offer the photographs of the painful event, and wish bride and groom happiness, love and plenty of money. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA  OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

PROF. A.J. SERRANO OBTAINS HIS PERMANENT POSITION

Prof. A.J. Serrano, egregious IDAL member, has achieved today his permanent position at the University of Valencia. In a 3 hour test, he has defended a pedagogic project to teach a subject in Analog Electronics, and his curriculum, which has been mainly developed in machine learning, intelligent data analysis and neural networks, applied to bioengineering.

Congratulations to our new professor!

INTELLIGENT DATA ANALYSIS LAB AT I-FAB 2010

IDAL member José D. Martín has recently attended the 2nd Congress of the International Foot and Ankle Biomechanics Community i-FAB 2010 that was held in Seattle (WA, USA). José D. Martín presented a work entitled “Relevance ranking of features involved in modelling dorsal pressures on the foot surface”. This research has been carried out in collaboration with the Technical University of Valencia and University of Salford (UK). Moreover, the conference also allowed to let this community know about what Intelligent Data Analysis can offer in the field of Biomechanics, coming up with some ideas for possible joint projects in the near future.

IDAL AT WCCI 2010



IDAl members have recently attended the IJCNN 2010, held in Barcelona in July 18-23. This conference was jointly held with FUZZ-IEEE 2010 and IEEE CEC 2010, with the generic name World Congress on Computational Intelligence WCCI 2010.

José D. Martin has collaborated in the organization of a special session in Computational Intelligence for Bioinformatics, and he also was the chairman in the session “Classification and Clustering II”.

The IDAL presentation was performed by José D. Martín, and it was entitled “Feature selection using ROC curves on classification problems”.

IDAl members also met some presonalities in Machine learning, like the renowned Professors Erkki Oja and Sun-ichi Amari and established contact with several researchers in different fields.

HOLIDAYS IN INTELLIGENT DATA ANALYSIS LAB

During August, IDAL members will be enjoying their holidays. August is the common month in Universities at Spain for vacation, so do not worry if your emails are not replied during this month. Nevertheless, we promise to start in September replying all the mails and working even harder.

Life is not only intelligent data analysis. Nice holidays for everybody!

CONFERENCE OF DR. IAN H. JARMAN AT IDAL

Abstract: Partition clustering is sensitive to initialisation. Moreover, it is not always clear whether a unique best solution exists for a given practical problem. A methodology is presented for mapping the space of partition clusters, from which to sample reproducible cluster solutions with good separation measured by second-order statistics and with stability to repeated initialisations. The cluster solutions are reproducible in the sense that multiple independent re-samplings of the initial conditions will return substantially identical partitions, for the same data and clustering algorithm. An extension of the methodology is proposed to reproducibly define a hierarchical tree of cluster solutions for increasing cluster number. The method is evaluated with synthetic data and applied to a previously studied protein expression dataset.
