Biomedical engineering is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary area that is providing solutions to biological and medical problems and improving the healthcare system. It is connected to various applications like protein structure prediction, computer-aided drug design, and computerized medical diagnosis based on image and signal data, which accomplish low-cost, accurate, and reliable solutions for improving healthcare services. With the recent advancements, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques are widely used in biomedical engineering to develop intelligent decision-making healthcare systems in real-time. However, accuracy and reliability in model performance can be a concern in tackling data generated from medical images and signals, making it challenging for researchers and practitioners. Therefore, optimized models can produce quality healthcare services to handle the complexities involved in biomedical research. Various optimization techniques have been employed to optimize parameters, hyper-parameters, and architectural information of ML/DL models explicitly applied to biological, medical, and signal data. The swarm intelligence approach has the potential to solve complex non-linear optimization problems. It mimics the collective behavior of social swarms such as ant colonies, honey bees, and bird flocks. The cooperative nature of swarms can search global settings of ML/DL models, which efficiently provide the solution to biomedical engineering applications. Finally, the book aims to provide the utility of swarm optimization and similar optimization techniques to design ML/DL models to improve the solutions related to biomedical engineering.

The most common form of severe dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), is a cumulative neurological disorder because of the degradation and death of nerve cells in the brain tissue, intelligence steadily declines and most of its activities are compromised in AD. Before diving into the level of AD diagnosis, it is essential to highlight the fundamental differences between conventional machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). This work covers a number of photo-preprocessing approaches that aid in learning because image processing is essential for the diagnosis of AD. The most crucial kind of neural network for computer vision used in medical image processing is called a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The proposed study will consider facial characteristics, including expressions and eye movements using the diffusion model, as part of CNN's meticulous approach to Alzheimer's diagnosis. Convolutional neural networks were used in an effort to sense Alzheimer's disease in its early stages using a big collection of pictures of facial expressions.

An Introduction to Universal Artificial Intelligence provides the formal underpinning of what it means for an agent to act intelligently in an unknown environment. First presented in Universal Algorithmic Intelligence (Hutter, 2000), UAI offers a framework in which virtually all AI problems can be formulated, and a theory of how to solve them. UAI unifies ideas from sequential decision theory, Bayesian inference, and algorithmic information theory to construct AIXI, an optimal reinforcement learning agent that learns to act optimally in unknown environments. AIXI is the theoretical gold standard for intelligent behavior.The book covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of UAI. Bayesian updating can be done efficiently with context tree weighting, and planning can be approximated by sampling with Monte Carlo tree search. It provides algorithms for the reader to implement, and experimental results to compare against. These algorithms are used to approximate AIXI. The book ends with a philosophical discussion of Artificial General Intelligence: Can super-intelligent agents even be constructed? Is it inevitable that they will be constructed, and what are the potential consequences?This text is suitable for late undergraduate students. It provides an extensive chapter to fill in the required mathematics, probability, information, and computability theory background.

A rich, narrative explanation of the mathematics that has brought us machine learning and the ongoing explosion of artificial intelligence Machine learning systems are making life-altering decisions for us: approving mortgage loans, determining whether a tumor is cancerous, or deciding if someone gets bail. They now influence developments and discoveries in chemistry, biology, and physics—the study of genomes, extrasolar planets, even the intricacies of quantum systems. And all this before large language models such as ChatGPT came on the scene. We are living through a revolution in machine learning-powered AI that shows no signs of slowing down.

It took the birth and advancement of computer science and the kindling of 1990s computer chips designed for video games to ignite the explosion of AI that we see today. In this enlightening book, Anil Ananthaswamy explains the fundamental math behind machine learning, while suggesting intriguing links between artificial and natural intelligence. Might the same math underpin them both? As Ananthaswamy resonantly concludes, to make safe and effective use of artificial intelligence, we need to understand its profound capabilities and limitations, the clues to which lie in the math that makes machine learning possible.

With the emergence of the data economy, information has become integral to business excellence. Every enterprise, irrespective of its domain of interest, carries and processes a lot of data in their day-to-day activities. Converting massive datasets into insightful information plays an important role in developing better business solutions. Data intelligence and its analysis pose several challenges in data representation, building knowledge systems, issue resolution and predictive systems for trend analysis and decisionmaking. The data available could be of any modality, especially when data is associated with healthcare, biomedical, finance, retail, cybersecurity, networking, supply chain management, manufacturing, etc. The optimization of such systems is therefore crucial to leveraging the best outcomes and conclusions. To this end, AI-based nature-inspired optimization methods or approximation-based optimization methods are becoming very powerful. Notable metaheuristics include genetic algorithms, differential evolution, ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, artificial bee colony, grey wolf optimizer, political optimizer, cohort intelligence and league championship algorithm. This book provides a systematic discussion of AI-based metaheuristics application in a wide range of areas, including big data intelligence and predictive analytics, enterprise analytics, graph optimization algorithms, machine learning and ensemble learning, computer vision enterprise practices and data benchmarking.
